The de Havilland DH98 Mosquito was known as the "wooden wonder" because it was primarily built out of wood, in accordance with earlier de Havilland practices.
Originally intended as an unarmed high-speed bomber, other variants were soon developed. Mosquitos were used a photo-reconnaissance aircraft, night-fighters, pathfinders for the main heavy bomber force, and fighter-bombers used for intruder missions and precision attacks.
At the Museum, we have the original Mosquito prototype, standing just a short distance from where it was originally constructed in 1940. We also have two production Mosquitos, an FB.VI fighter-bomber version and a later B.35 high-altitude bomber.
In this video, we share seven facts about the Mosquito that you may not have heard. Let us know how many you already knew!
The video was shot in the hangars and grounds of the de Havilland Aircraft Museum.
