MISSING PLANS

[Flying10uk]

Gil, do you know what happened to the Mosquito that was owned by the Imperial War museum that had had one of it's wings cut off, years ago, so that it could be displayed against a wall inside the main museum complex in Lambeth, London? There was talk of doing something with it some years ago but I don't recall what exactly. Thanks.

No idea, but there is a yellow bellied one right outside our Airborne Assault museum at Duxford hanging from the ceiling

Looks like a target tug with that yellow colour scheme. Somewhere I have part of a red canvas/cloth target that my father picked up in a field during WW2 after he watched it being shot down during target practice.

Mosquitos were also made in Australia.

MISSING PLANS

So...maybe someone should have just started making them...wouldn't they sell like hotcakes? Wonder how much they'd go for?

The film about De Havilland Canada construction of the Mosquito is quite interesting too:

Jim,
I would hazard a guess that 2 million would be about right with two real Merlins not some other make fitted. 7 Million is way way over the top.

I would say the problem would be a supply of Merlin engines, maybe the 7 million is not far off, as they would have to contact the guy who was looking for the Spitfires in Burma see if he had any engines plus spares...

I came across a certain air museum in NZ'ed that had 2 WWII Merlin's brand new still in the crate in the grease so to speak, I said to them they are at a name your price on the open market now days........... (they weren't for sale)

Please BD6 not the Burma Spitfires again you know Peter L has the inside run on one!!!!!
