Very nice, but why only 5 exhaust stubs per side? The merlin is a V12...??

this might be old news, but its worth a look.

The rear two exhausts are combined into one stub. You can see it in the close up at about 0:44 in that video. It was apparently because the rear most exhaust would have been too close to the wing spar, so was brought forwards. Not all Mosquitoes have this arrangement though - later models had slightly longer engine nacelles that allowed for a more conventional arrangement.

They siamesed the rear pair to get clearance from the radiator, I believe.

Pretty impressive

The B1 is one of the loudest aircraft I've heard during takeoff so I bet it was deafening there!

It's a take-off with no wheels, too. And almost with no props. :-o

And the For Sale advert that followed the incident is a bit 'economical with the truth' about the aircraft's condition: http://www.trade-a-plane.com/detail/aircraft/Multi...

"Used ... needs props"

It was a crash but he didn't like it so went around to try and crash again properly.

And also some pretty fasinating (or how ever you spell it) STOL video - great handling the balancing on the main wheels using propwash and elevator.
