Great youtube clip here. After some stills at the beginning of the clip there is some cinema news coverage. What great sounding engines these aircraft had. It seems the aircraft was based on the high speed Comet from three years previous.

For those with time on their hands there is a fascinating youtube video that follows the above clip about the Mosquito but this video lasts 44 minutes but it is well worth watching it. Looks like the film was made just after the war and covers its history, build and the thoughts behind it. and of course to keep it all in topic the Mosquito was also built at Luton. One thing I learned from the film was that the American AF also flew the Mosquito.
