Description

SEAGULL DE HAVILLAND MOSQUITO TWIN ENGINE RC WARBIRD 0.46 – 0.55 cu.in 2-stroke engine. (including retracts)

This is another Scale Bomber for which SEAGULL MODELS has put in a lot of hours on the work bench and a lot of prototype flights to showcase the scale detailing and enhancing the twin engine flight characteristics for scale RC pilots on an airplane with rich CANADIAN history —

The De Havilland Mosquito was called either the “Wooden Wonder” or the “Termite’s Dream” because of its unusual plywood construction. Although its construction did provide drawbacks in tropical climates, the aircraft proved to be outstandingly successful in the European theatre and in Canada. Its wooden construction made it one of the first stealthy aircraft in an era of radar. It was probably one of the most versatile aircraft of the Second World War, being used in fighter, bomber, reconnaissance, anti-shipping and even transport roles. Bomber and reconnaissance variants carried no defensive armament, relying instead on their high speed for protection. Six Canadian squadrons flew Mosquitos in a variety of tasks and roles. 400 Squadron flew the aircraft on photographic reconnaissance missions. Four RCAF night fighter squadrons (406, 409, 410 and 418) flew Mosquitos on night fighter and intruder operations. During the V-1 pilotless missile blitz attacks of 1944, 409 Squadron Mosquitos destroyed 10 missiles and 418 Squadron shot down 82 V-1s. 404 Squadron was also equipped with Mosquitos, employing them on coastal anti-shipping and submarine strikes. A total of 7,781 Mosquitos were built, including 1,032 at the De Havilland plant in Toronto.
