Anyone know if there were similar incidents of wing/spar failure in other mossies?
I have seen a black and white film clip of a Mossie doing a low level beat up and a wing came off - at the root I think. Have done a quick internet search but unable to find.
This link provides a little info
de Havilland Mosquito
It seems from
Wing Spar Section - DH98 Mosquito, Engine Mounting, 1943-1945 - Museum Victoria that Australian built aircraft suffered from a couple of failures as well. Do a search for "dh mosquito wing failure" and you will come up with a few hits.
