Mosquito (Total: 7,777, Canadian: 185, Group 185)
de Havilland Mosquito

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

One of 10 RAF surplus Mosquitos sold to Spartan Air Services of Ottawa, ON on 15 Dec 1954 for photo survey work. Civil conversion done by Derby Aviation Ltd. at Derby/Burnaston airfield. Ferried to Canada 16-17 Jul 1956, the last of the 10 Spartan Mosquitos to make the trip. On Canadian civil registry as CF-HMS. Employed on high-altitude photo survey work in Canada, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic 1957-1959. Grounded by Spartan in 1960 due to concerns over possible wood rot and CofA expired at Downsview ON 13 May 1961.
Dismantled at Downsview and arrived by rail in Calgary AB 15 Jan 1965 after purchase by Lynn Garrison to form the planned Air Museum of Canada. In outdoor storage until 1968 when it was moved to the former Officers Mess of 403 (Reserve) Sqn. After failure of the museum, ownership passed to the City of Calgary in 1973. Stored in several locations including CFB Cold Lake. In 2012, City of Calgary awarded restoration to the Calgary Mosquito Society. Restoration work is being done in the facilities of the Bomber Command Museum in Nanton AB. At a presentation at CWH in Hamilton on 30 Sep 2023, Calgary Mosquito Society President Richard de Boer said that they are 11 years into the restoration process and are approximately 50% completed. RS700 will be finished in its 1950's Spartan Air Services colours.

Merlin 113/114
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]
