    You can only have one if you promise Mom you won't play with it in the house. The Mosquito bomber was used by the RAF in WWII to great effect. They were built from spruce plywood with two watercooled RR Merlin engines. There was also a nightfighter varient.
    Sometimes the other ones go away, but I'm always right here.

    Greenlantern, there were about 40 variants of the Mosquito bomber in WW2. I think it was the RAF's idea of a kit car. It was their woolly bugger. There was a version for anything that could be done, and doing it very well. It is ironic that the Luftwaffe had very fast, light and medium bombers as a strategic keypoint but it was the British who perfected it.
    And the British mosquitoes were very pestiferous.
