Back in the 90's I was fortunate to have a connection with the chap who certified the only flying Mosquito in the UK, based at Broughton, Flintshire. H-TE was a super machine and could be seen and heard flying from my house. I even managed to blag a sit inside (on the ground obviously), it's very cramped in there.
At the same time I was flying RC aircraft and flew a scale model of H-TE with a wingspan of around 7 feet - flew very badly and difficult to land and take off.
Sadly its demise is well known and there were some consequences for my pal.
