The de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito was a British twin-engine shoulder-winged multi-role combat aircraft, introduced during the Second World War. It was one of few operational front-line aircraft of the era whose frame was constructed almost entirely of wood. Nicknamed The Wooden Wonder, it was affectionately as the "Mossie" to its crews. The total number of DH98 Mosquito aircraft built was 7,781, the type serving with the main Allied air forces, including both the United States and Russia.

When Mosquito production began in 1941 it was the fastest propeller driven operational aircraft in the world. The first variant was an unarmed, high-speed, high-altitude photo-reconnaissance aircraft. Originally conceived as an unarmed fast bomber, the Mosquito's use evolved during the war into many roles including low to medium-altitude daytime tactical bomber, high-altitude night bomber, pathfinder, day or night fighter, fighter-bomber, intruder, and maritime strike aircraft. It was also used by the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) as a fast transport to carry small high-value cargoes to, and from, neutral countries, through enemy-controlled airspace. The crew of two, pilot and navigator, sat side by side, but a single passenger could ride in the aircraft's bomb bay when necessary.

The Mosquito FB Mk. VI was often flown in special raids, such as Operation Jericho, an attack on Amiens Prison in early 1944, and precision attacks against military intelligence, security and police facilities (such as Gestapo headquarters). On the 10th anniversary of the Nazi' seizure of power in 1943, a morning Mosquito attack knocked out the main Berlin broadcasting station while Hermann Goering was speaking, putting his speech off the air. Goering later said: "It makes me furious when I see the Mosquito. I turn green and yellow with envy. There is nothing the British do not have. They have the geniuses and we have the nincompoops."

The Mosquito flew with the RCAF and other air forces in the European, Mediterranean and Italian theatres. After the end of the Second World War Spartan Air Services flew 10 ex-RAF Mosquitoes, mostly B.35's plus one of only six PR.35's built, for high-altitude photographic survey work in Canada. There are approximately 30 non-flying Mosquitos around the world with five airworthy examples, three in the United States, one in Canada and one in New Zealand. Harold Skaarup web page and Wikipedia

LR480 was built at Hatfield and delivered to Benson on 10th November 1943. Flown to the Middle East shortly afterwards, it was delivered to No. 60 Squadron (SAAF) at Foggia in Italy on 8th June 1944. While with No. 60 Squadron it completed many unarmed high altitude photo reconnaissance sorties over the Balkans and Austria.
In December 1944 an attempt was made on the speed record from the Middle East to South Africa. Colonel Owen Glynn Davies, with Brigadier Hingeston as his passenger, took off from Cairo on 14th December. Problems refueling at the first stop, Juba, on the Nile, meant that the flightplan had to be modified, with a landing at Kasma planned. Following the landing at Kasma the weather deteriorated rapidly with cumulus exceeding 35,000 feet. Glynn attempted a landing at Que-Que [Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe], however the 2,000 foot landing strip could not accommodate the Mosquito which ran off the end of the strip into a shallow trench.
The aircraft was later repaired, gaining new propellors and undercarriage units, flown to South Africa and donated to the South African Museum of Military History at Saxonwold. The aircraft was displayed mounted on stilts in the hangar roof as there was insufficient floor space.
Recent inspections have apparently shown that although LR480 has been kept under cover, the prevalent high temperatures have caused some deterioration to the wooden structure.
Notes: LR480's tailplane is not the original as during the aircraft's repair it was donated to another Mosquito that had damaged its own tailplane.

LR 503

Merlin 72

Built in early 1943 and delivered to 109 Pathfinder Sqn at Wyton with squadron code HS-C. 109 Sqn pioneered the use of "Oboe" high-precision blind-bombing equipment. It is possible (but unconfirmed) that LR503 was an Oboe-equipped aircraft because most of 109's Mosquitos had Oboe, as did 105 Sqn, to which LR503 was later transferred. Also, in-service photographs of LR503 show the nose glazing painted over, which was a common practice with Oboe Mosquitos. First combat sortie was to Krefeld on 21 Jun 1943, marking targets for heavy bombers. The first 100 missions were completed within 12 months. LR503 made two Pathfinder trips on 6 Jun 1944 (D-Day) to drop target indicators on both the Longues-sur-Mer coastal battery and the town of St-Lo. By its 213th and last mission flown to Leipzig on 10 Apr 1945, LR503 had flown more missions than any other Allied bomber of the war.


Near the end of the war in Europe, the National War Finance Committee in Canada had requested a famous RAF aircraft and/or aircrew to support a Victory bond drive. At first, 105 Sqn was to send aircraft GB-D but it had suffered a number of mechanical problems and LR503 (known as F-for-Freddie with the 105 Sqn code GB-F-bar) replaced it. The crew was experienced: Flight Lieutenant J. Maurice W. Briggs, DFM, DFC, DSO, and Flying Officer John C. Baker, DFC and bar had flown 107 trips in Mosquito B.Mk. IXs with 1409 Meteorological Flight, flying in daylight and assessing weather conditions over Europe ahead of planned bombing missions. At the end of 1944 they were both transferred to 45 Group (formerly Ferry Command) and delivered several new Canadian-built Mosquitos to Britain.


Briggs and Baker flew LR503 via the North Atlantic Ferry Route in the westbound direction, completing the final non-stop leg from Greenland to Ottawa-Rockliffe on 2 May 1945 in record time. In the next few days the tour passed through Montreal, Toronto, Downsview, Winnipeg, Regina and Saskatoon, passing over as many smaller centres as possible along the way, entertaining (or annoying) the population with displays of very low and fast flying. They arrived in Calgary on 9 May, making extremely low passes between the major downtown buildings as well over as the airport itself. There were reports of the Mosquito passing under a trestle bridge in the city. Briggs had completed his BCATP pilot training in Calgary in 1943. A crowd had gathered at Calgary airport on the afternoon of 10 May to see LR503 fly. After some delays due to engine adjustments, Briggs and Baker took off and made 2 very fast low passes over the Calgary control tower and the crowd. On the third pass, LR503 struck weather equipment and a flagpole on top of the Calgary control tower, shearing off the left wing and the tailplane. The aircraft crashed and burned in a field some distance away, taking the lives of the crew.
