Wonderful, just wonderful!!!!

It's been soooo looong since I've seen one fly. I'd happily scrap two Spitfires to see one Mossie fly again.
Can't help thinking of the wartime tale, whereby the Yanks laughed at us Brits for building a fighter out of wood and fabric. The smile was soon wiped from their faces, when it left a P51 in its wake during a chase.

Kevin, It ended up being another of the few British aircraft actually flown by the Americans. The acquired 100 from us on the Reverse Lend-Lease programs and used them for recce duties. They were so impressed by the types capabilities they managed to get another batch from the Canadians.
