Happy 82nd birthday to the #deHavilland #Mosquito that first flew on this day in 1940.
Here are 4 that we have worked on over the years, including that very prototype - W4050, based at the de Havilland Aircraft Museum with TA122 & TA634. The final example is BAe's former RR299.

Google keeps making amazing collages that show the range of our work over the years. There is one interloper. Can you spot it? It did at least fly into visit us.
