Vampire must have been something else but I have no clue about Mosquitoo.
Spaz, get hold of the book "Wings on my Sleeve" by Eric Brown, he was the pilot for both, and spells out what he went through on both. Too long a story to post here. Includes a good story where the hook failed on the Mosquito on one landing after engagement, and went off the side just managing to keep it in the air.
