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, four in the United States, and one in Canada. Harold Skaarup web page and Wikipedia

Merlin 113

Known Units: 23

Assigned to 23 Sqn at Wittering 5 Dec 1946. On 14 Feb 1949, RL249 departed RAF Coltishall on a night gunnery training sortie with pilot Pilot Officer I. Richard Colbourne RAF and navigator Sergeant William Kirby RAF. Kirby was a BCATP graduate, getting his wings at Malton ON in 1944. Moments after takeoff, both engines failed and Colbourne force-landed in a grove of trees about 4 miles southwest of the airfield, near the village of Stratton Strawless. Colbourne, with a head wound and his clothes burning, extricated himself from the wreckage, but re-entered the cockpit to free Kirby, who was still trapped. He managed to do so with the assistance of a passer-by. Kirby had severe burns and other injuries, to which he succumbed the next day. Colbourne spent several months in hospital and was awarded the George Medal in July 1949 for his gallantry and selflessness.

As a result of the crash investigation, a modification was applied to all Merlin 113/114 engines. RL249 was partly destroyed by the fire, but the hulk was brought back to RAF Coltishall and left on the airport perimeter. Large components like the radar system and engines were salvaged. The remainder was used for airport fire training and by the 1960's had been burned and buried as the airfield layout was changed.

A group excavated the remains of RL249 in 2010. In 2017 The Peoples Mosquito Charity was formed to raise funds for the reconstruction of a Mosquito in the UK. Reconstruction process began in 2020 by the firm Retrotec, beginning with the fuselage molds and aided by Airbus Industries' donation of approx. 22,000 original De Havilland drawings on microfilm. Components of RL249 will be used in the rebuild, which will be an FB.Mk. VI, identity unknown. Civil registration G-FBVI reserved in 2019.
