From steer to Mosquito...

Having watched Brian's Knickers video, I was offered the following from the IWM:

I found it entertaining, and hope you do too.
Cheers, Mike.

Had actually seen that one recently Mike, but still a very good watch. :thumbsup:

Same here, a really stunning aircraft with equally stunning performance.

Pound for pound, the best combat aircraft Britain has ever produced ? Definitely maybe. Good video, though he fluffs his lines a bit - I'm pretty certain there was never a Fighter Bomber Command.

You are quite right Paul, there was Fighter Command - Bomber Command - Coastal Command - Training Command and Army Co-Operation.

Bomber Command and Fighter Command changed to Strike Command in 1968.

One of the Mosquito's most amazing missions, imho.
