In 1942 the De Havilland company were asked to look at the possibility of putting jet engines on the Mosquito. Calculations showed, that it was not a good idea: A little more speed but a much shorter range. But what-if!

very nice build  , but doesn't look like it would reach Mach 1 though 

What I want to know is what are you going to do with the MOUNTAIN of Lightning fuselages you must have by now? 

But the Mach 1 Mossie is BRILLIANT! 

The Mosquito Mach 1 of yours is, uh... (I lack words) is... WOW!

I used 3 fuselages on the Lightning flying wing thing & had one set left over from my original Triple Lightning   hence all the wings left over    only one set left 

 

That's neat ! Looks different from every angle. Nice work !

Mossie, great work. That would test the integrity of the glue on the plywood. 

The marketing department was happy to see the twin development, saying "it will be easy to sell, claiming "Mach 1+Mach 1= Mach 2 !"

It'll be fine , my grandad made the wings      I did hear somewhere the Germans had a problem with their glue though?
