I just found this glorious piece of film. For those of us who are Mosquito (and Merlin) fans, it is probably as close as we will ever get to one.....
Strap on your flying helmet, and enjoy!

It's a pleasure - my late father worked at Royce's during the war, mostly machining the supercharger drive gears on Merlins, so I suspect that's where I've got my love of warbirds from.

My late Father was a Spit pilot VB & IV's - he maybe flew one your Father had "supercharged"...
The sound of any Merlin sends a shiver down my spine, as a totally involuntary action.
To hear the eight of them at Goodwood Revival this year with the two Lanc flypast was an impressive power sound and sight I'll never forget.
