Final reunion of Mosquito flyers (link) 
More than 150 airmen who flew Mosquito planes during World War II enjoyed a final reunion on Saturday. The Mosquito was considered one of the most dangerous during the war as it could outpace any other aircraft. Founder member Eric Atkins, who won numerous medals as a flight lieutenant, said the Mosquito was "like a racehorse" compared with the "drey horses of metal aircraft".
I had my own little celebration of the amazing wood constructed fighter-bomber on Sunday when I took one out for a blast around Hong Kond island and along the mainland China coast. I was amazed the Chinese air-force didn't shoot me out of the sky after the fly-by I did weaving thru the sky-scrapers of Wan Chai at 350mph. It was probably a good thing I flew out tonight for Taiwan. 3:53:49 AM
