DE HAVILLAND MOSQUITO
CONFIRMED FOR THE 2013 HAMILTON AIRSHOW

Jerry Yagen (Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach) and Dave Rohrer (Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum) are planning for Jerry Yagen's newly restored de Havilland Mosquito to attend the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum's 2013 Hamilton Airshow on June 15 & 16!  (Photo: Gavin Conroy)

The Mosquito's appearance at the Hamilton Airshow will be the first appearance of this historic aircraft in Canada and it is planned to be part of a special formation flight that will include the Lancas ter, Spitfire & Hurricane - an aircraft formation and sight that hasn't been seen in the skies over Hamilton since 1990 as photographed by Rick Radell.
The rare Mosquito will definitely be the star of the vintage aircraft line-up that will include many rare and unique machines that will be announced in March.


Please note that the Mosquito will be arriving early to be the subject of a special featured event at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum on Friday June 14th that will include discussions with several former Mosquito pilots including George Stewart (pictured) who was recently honoured sharing his knowledge and experience to a new generation of Mosquito pilots in New Zealand.  Details of this event will be announced closer to the Airshow. The Mosquito will be departing Hamilton on Sunday June 16th at about 10:00 am to appear at a special commitment in Washington D.C.

MATT YOUNKIN & HIS BEECH 18
RETURNING TO THE 2013 HAMILTON AIRSHOW

The Beech 18 was never designed for aerobatic flight.  However, that doesn't make it incapable of doing just that. Matt Younkin's  performance begins with a roll on take off followed by a series of Cuban eights, point-rolls and even a loop.  Matt performed for the first time ever in Canada at the 2012 Hamilton Airshow and some people say his performance stole the show.  We are pleased to welcome Matt Younkin and his Beech 18 back to the Hamilton Airshow.

HAMILTON AIRSHOW LAST YEAR


RCAF SNOWBIRDS
ALSO RETURNING TO THE 2013 HAMILTON AIRSHOW


While not a noisy, fast or as modern as some of the other aerobatic teams out there, the Royal Canadian Air Force Snowbirds always put on a first class performance that is second to none!  The Snowbirds demonstrate the high level of professionalism, teamwork, excellence, discipline and dedication inherent in the women and men of the Royal Canadian Air Force.  The Snowbirds have flown the CT-114 Tutor jet since 1971. The aircraft was designed and built in Canada and is used by the RCAF as its basic pilot training aircraft. The jets are painted in a distinctive red and white paint scheme symbolic of Canada's national flag. As members of the nation's military, the Snowbirds are proud to fly Canada's colours across North America.

During an excavation in a dyked marsh in Kruibeke(Belgium) ,a motor and prop of a Mosquito were found.More dangerous was the find of a 500kg damaged bomb.Another 500 kg one and 2 smaller ones were also found and taken away by DOVO(Belgian explosives experts) to be destroyed later.The damaged one however had to be destroyed in situ by a contolled explosion.The motor and prop will be held for the British Embassy,and if they decline the finds then the mayor of Kruibeke will have them installed as a monument.At the moment I have found no pictures of the findings or explosion.

Aircraft Restoration "The People's Mosquito"

The sky is really the limit.
A perfect example of what enthousiasm, creativity and modern technology can do. 
If they had just first started with the paperwork ...
Let's hope they will succeed and let's support them

We can also do it, we just need to start ...

The People's Mosquito has a simple aim: to see the return to the UK skies of the de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito. During the Second World War many aircraft were funded by the people: companies, towns, villages and organisations. We would like to repeat that model by asking the people of the United Kingdom to help us restore to airworthy condition this magnificent flying memorial that captures the spirit, the pride, the design brilliance and above all the bravery of our country.

If you are interested in helping the project or would just like to say hello, you can get in touch with us via Twitter @peoplesmosquito or on Facebook or Google+, or by leaving a comment on our website: www.peoplesmosquito.org.uk.
