Anyone fancy a flight in a Mosquito?

Thanks to Chug, AA and Danny, please keep them coming. Soon after posting about the incredible noise endured by Bomber and Coastal Command crews, I came across this:

We really have to hand it to the Kiwis for their determination and engineering skills, I've never seen anything like this. Just make sure the neighbours are out, turn up the volume, enjoy all the way to the snap, crackle and pop of a Merlin being throttled back ... and then ask yourself would you have liked eight hours of it, night after night.
