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

11 Apr 1945 damaged by German fighters during an attack on Porsgrunn harbour, Norway. Force-landed on Lake Langen where it quickly sank through the ice. Pilot Sqn Ldr Phil Davenport and navigator Ron Day were rescued by local farmers but were soon captured by German forces and remained POW's until VE-Day.

Some remains of RS505, including both engines, were recovered from Lake Langen in 2005 and put on display at Nord-Østerdal Aircraft and Military Historical Society Museum in Tolga.

In 2022, the remains were acquired by Collings Foundation in Stow MA for use in a future static restoration project.

RS 712

Merlin 113/114

Known Units: 13OTU; 1CAACU; TTF Schleswigland; 3-4CAACU

RS712 was built by Airspeed at Christchurch, as a B.Mk35. Following storage with the RAF, it was delivered to Sywell on 30th November 1951 for conversion to a TT.Mk. 35 by Brooklands Aviation Ltd. The conversion was completed in May 1952 and the aircraft was delivered to 27 MU at Shawbury for storage until issued to 1 CAACU at Hornchurch on 31st December 1953. With the closure of this unit, the aircraft was once again put into storage until 28th February 1958, when it was allocated to the 2nd Tactical Airforce and entered service with the TT flight of the Armament Practice Section at Schleswigland, northwest Germany.
The aircraft returned to the UK and was delivered to 3 CAACU at Exeter on 29th April 1958. RS712 was transferred to Flying Training Command at the end of June 1961 and was then retired to 27 MU, from where it was bought by Mirisch Films as G-ASKB on 31st July 1961. Camouflaged, and with dummy machine guns attached to the nose, it became one of the stars of 633 Squadron (July 1963) and the later Mosquito Squadron (June 1968), both made at Bovingdon.
With its filming career over, RS712 was bought for the Strathallan Museum in September 1972, and flown there on 8th November 1975. The closure of the collection forced the sale of RS712, which was acquired by Kermit Weeks of Florida in June 1981 for the sum of £100,000. Harry Robins took over the task of returning RS712 to airworthiness in 1984, and he and George Aird flew the Mosquito to Booker airfield on 21st December and into the care of Personal Plane Services. Following further work by Harry, in 1986 RS712 was camouflaged and given the code EG-F to represent the 487 Squadron Mosquito flown by Group Captain P.C.Pickard during the attack on Amiens prison in 1944. On 29th September George Aird with George Stewart as co-pilot took off from RAF Benson for the first leg of the trip to Prestwick. Initially joined by RR299 near its Hawarden base for a formation photo session, twenty five and a half hours flying time saw RS712 delivered to Kermit's museum in Florida,[1] becoming N35MK.
The aircraft is displayed at the EAA Museum, Oshkosh, WI, as RS712/EG-F.[2]
