Mosquito KA114 in 2015

[Gavin Conroy]

Was back at Jerry Yagen's place again last week and saw the Mossie fly several times.
Is going as good as ever, Warren Denholm was there as well and we both got to fly in the Mossie on each day of the show.

Below are a couple of photos and will follow up with some more when I get a chance, the aeroplane was the star again so no surprises there but then again isn't an American aircraft by design so perhaps a big feat the more I think about it.

Thanks to Mike Spalding for all of his time and effort, the flight in the Mossie was fantastic and on the taxi out he looked at me with a big smile on his face and said, "this really is surreal isn't it" enough said!

Good grief Gavin haven't you had enough?! I mean, let's get some perspective here... (insanely jealous)

But seriously, thanks for sharing, and you do deserve it. Love the P-40 too!

Mike's white bone dome looks so out of place in this beauty... just me being pedantic but I wish he would go shopping at Campbell Aero Classics for one of their leather hard-shell jobs

Cool piccies thanks Gavin - ya jammy bugger

It sure does Jon, have been fortunate enough to fly in that machine three times and it is simply amazing.
Have flown in it twice in the US thanks to the kindness shown to me by Jerry Yagen and will always be grateful to him for that and last weeks flight will be the last as it is time to do other things on future visits and leave those opportunities in KA114 for those who are way more deserving.

Here are a few of the other aircraft I flew with, not so many photos taken from the ground, it is something I am doing less of as don't enjoy the ground based airshow photography very much anymore as I miss too much fun stuff, and there are plenty of great show photographers, I just wanna fly!!

[Dave Homewood]

Great stuff Gavin, you have some really top notch photos there!

Here is a video from last week, put the head cam on and off we went!!
