I bet things got a little exciting if a Mossie, Hornet or P38 experienced an engine failure on takeof.

Which is why the Sea Mosquito was binned and why the Mosquito was banned from entering civil service post WWII (despite the fact that BOAC had flown Mossies during WWII).

Yeah but they were only flown in BOAC livery to allow them to fly important cargo (including people) out of neutral Sweden.

That was one of my favourite planes as a little boy.

Well it would be looking like that wouldn't it? I also remember having great fun assembling model kits of cartoon chubby warplanes: things like MIG 15 and so on.

Actually an early form of ducted fan design. It did really fly.

In the way of a new bridge, dredged up to be scrapped I think. Unless someone is building a new one from the restored builders plate.
