I've seen Mosquitos a couple of times in RAF aerial shows in the UK but it's that Kiwi flight that really sticks in my mind.
Also, my apologies also for being OT.

The mossie flew down to karapiro for the armistice day event they hold there. I recorded the flight on my wife's iPad. Glorious.

Heard mustangs too when living just out of martinborough. Those Alison's sound cool.

A few years ago, I arrived early at the Goodwood Revival, it was abou 7 am. I got treated to a guy in a Mustang doing an early morning practice, what a treat that was, they had a fly over later that day with Spitfires and Hurricanes in formation. Unfortunately I missed the Lancaster by one day.

On the years warbirds is held they do there practice runs the week b4 up our valley best we had was a f14 hitting mach 3 at roof level past the house thought the windows we gonna implode
