Recently in the spirit of Christmas, several of the project’s fans have come forward and donated parts and equipment used in the D.H.98 Mosquito. Obtained and donated by Patrick Beaumont and through TPM Volunteer Roger Coasby (ex-De Havilland) we thank them for presenting the project with this aircraft compass. The type fitted as standard on all Mosquito aircraft. Please see pic of the oxygen bottle type next to the spinner in the pic below.
We will also be in possession of an oxygen bottle also as fitted to the Mosquito. Although CAA regulations for VFR flight will see us operating under 10,000 feet and we do not need oxygen, we will fit the equipment as part of the OEM specification.
