What is your reference for all this? I am searching for VL Vihuri, and I am finding stuff on a post-war single-engined trainer. I am finding literature on a pre-war 415mph unarmed twin-engined bomber called the Wihuri, on alternatehistory.com, but, um, it is alternate history. Real Mosquitos did not do 415mph until they got two-stage supercharger Merlins, and they climbed to 28000ft.

And the Blenheim landing gear would have struggled with the weight.

Hi

As sources e.g. Pommikoneet. Lentäjän näkökulma IV by Jukka Raunio (1998) p. 22. In Finnish, and not an alternate history book.

As the Mosquito-Vihuri was cancelled, the Vihuri name was reused postwar.
