Testosterone fired, speed addicted, and happy-to-still-be-alive youth were the primary source of pilots of the
Second World War. At 6 foot, 4 inches, I wouldnt want to be standing up on the runway for this beat-up by a
Mosquito. This aircraft had the military serial number RR299 and was built as an unarmed, dual control trainer
at Leavesden in 1945. It served in the Middle East until 1949, when it returned to the United Kingdom . It
then served with a variety of RAF units, this service being interspersed with periods in storage. The aircraft
was retired from the RAF in 1963 and was acquired by Hawker Siddeley Aviation (now British Aerospace) at
Chester . The first Permit to Fly was issued on 9 September 1963. The aircraft continued to be based and
maintained at Chester and typically flew around 50 hours per year. Photo RAF
