looking forward to visiting the stand!

thanks norab. I had originally wondered if they might have been a Typhoon variant given that air intake under the prop. However the air intake on the Typhoon was an altogether fatter affair, I should have know better. Having now Googled P-40Ns it would seem that these are reasonably accurate...

oops double posted by accident

I am not sure if these are even based on real planes, but I would be very interested to know what you think they are. I came across them on a ride in Walt Disney Studios, Disneyland Paris:

It certainly did, it looked like the stuff of a science fiction movie. Awesome machine. Thanks for the comments guys.

Thanks Antoni and others for the info on possible future airworthy mosquitoes. Pity that their country of origin cannot come up with an airworthy version. My brother recently moved to Canada, so will keep an eye out for a flying wooden twin engined excuse to visit him.

thanks guys. It is a pity there don't seem to be any flying mosquitoes in air-shows in the UK. Are you aware of any currently airworthy examples of this awesome machine?

Short but sweet: Video Highlights

I thought you might be interested to see these images given to me by the son of a WW2 RAF veteran: This website www.dehavilland.ukf.net/ says the following regarding the demise of this plane: VA889 TIIISF Tangmere/SF West Malling/CFSU/c collapsed on take-off Little Rissington...
