Overview
One of the most famous aircraft of all time can be yours in the form of Seagull's stunning twin.
The Mosquito was designed by Sir Geoffrey de Havilland and was one of the fastest operational aircraft in the world when it entered service in 1941.
To preserve scarce metal reserves and for speed of production, the plane was made from pieces of wood, pressed and glued together in moulds, earning it the nickname 'The Wooden Wonder'. Exactly 7,781 were eventually built, the last one on November 15, 1950. 6,710 of them were delivered during WWII.
Herman Goering, Germany's wartime aviation minister, said the aircraft turned him green and yellow with envy"'.
