Someone did say "Mosquito"

[Charl]

I did say too, I would be playing Mossies all Sunday, and so it was.
Of course the sound in MSFS probably cannot ever match the real thing.

But of course you get to do things...
The feeling of driving the beast in an airfield beatup, and flying manoeuvres that killed the last RW one in 1996, for example.

I do love the Mosquito, even before the Avspecs bird flew, I loved the Mosquito.

[Ian Warren]

Never fails not to please , any one off your Videos are impressive , after watching Warren and his boys pre flight it shows how small the cockpit is but in serious combat it must have been a great moral booster ,

[Splitpin]

Charl , awesome video, and great sounds

[spongebob206]

Thanks Charl

I have always loved the Mosquito.

Fly my sim every chance I get. The Mossie was the reason I learrn't to fly, and my instructor was a Mossie Pilot How good is that

Love how you can pop up over the dash. What addon is that?

[Charl]

Thanks chaps...

Doesn't get any better, probably.
I dug out my TrackIR for this, makes all the difference when you have a decent VC, and really comes into its own with taildraggers.
You do get a sense of the confines of the cockpit too.

What I'd give for ride in the passenger seat of the real one... ah well that's why we enjoy the sim so much, just add a little imagination, eh?

Marty, having heard the real thing, I am no longer happy with the sim noise.
I will keep looking until I find that snarl in the flypast.

[spongebob206]

Have to get a Trackir Thanks.

Yes I agree, told the wife if circuit in the Nav seat was 10K, I'm in. Not sure she or the bank would be happy, but I would be

And I was serious. Whats a mortgage for

[Charl]

TrackIR = smaller mortgage...

I found the '96 crash video while trawling for some more mossie footage.

It breaks your heart.

[Ian Warren]

That is a sad picture ... I only recall seeing it from another angle it did not show exactly what had happened .

[spongebob206]

What an idiot, I as told it was a wing over.... not a roll over ...about to pull through and... oooops I'm too low

Sad

What a waste

[AndrewJamez]

I heard there was also a structural failure. You can defiantly here a big CRACK after it went into inverted flight. It was an original airframe and there a lots of stories about delamination due to breakdown of the old glues. These. New mosses will be even stronger than the original airframes.

Hi guys,
The full Air Accident Investigation Bureau report on the sad demise of RR299 at Barton, Manchester in 1996 is available online.
Go to aaib.gov.uk & input search for mosquito & 1996.
Their report found that during a wingover to the right, power was lost from the left engine.
Control was lost & although partially regained, it was too low to save the aircraft & crew.
There appears to have been no signs of structural failure.
It was a very sad day indeed.
I had seen her fly many times, the last just a few weeks before the crash.
Hope this helps.
Ross

[Ian Warren]

Thanks Ross , Ill have a read ... I wondered why it went through a well known manuvover and it to fail - you heard the cough and splutter as it dropped away .

[steelsporran]

Here's, the real McCoy from saturday. It could have been so much better without the music.

[Ian Warren]

BRILLIANT Steel , Now i wonder if i could get a job as the hanger broom guy well worth the six minute watch !

[Charl]

Beuatifully done... I've offered him my flypast noise which came out better than expected.
The rest of the music didn't bother me.

[Ian Warren]

All i got was "all Wow Olly molly"

[Charl]

Just stay with it another 1.6 seconds... I put a sock in it.

EDIT: I keep plugging this because for a change the dam wind wasn't thundering up the pathetic little mike shield on the camera.
