| 1323377 | 2013-01-17 21:08:00 | I heard a rumour last night that the recently restored de Havilland Mosquito was going to partake in a flyover above Wellington today at noon. I cannot find anything on-line to confirm this rumour. Does anyone know for sure if this is going to happen? I want to get out there and take some photographs :) |

| 1323384 | 2013-01-18 02:19:00 | Just called Wellington Control Tower. Flyover scheduled for 12.10pm comprising Spitfire, Mustang and Mosquito. Woo woo :) :) The third plane turned out to be a Kittyhawk, not a Mustang (unless there were four and the Mustang was out of sight of the video camera). |

| 1323385 | 2013-01-18 04:26:00 | I live in Franklin and have been privileged to see the Mosquito fly over about four times and have also seen it on the North Shore a couple of weeks ago. It has such a wonderful sound, pure concentrated power. You have to be fast to see it as well, it just eats up the sky. Haven't managed a photo yet( larger than a small dot) | PPp (9511) | ||
| 1323386 | 2013-01-18 05:22:00 | You wouldn't believe it. I thought I was picking a great site up on the hill above the Stadium to take my photos. Normally it would have been great - except these guys decided that their flight path would be directly over my head :( Still, some shots are better than none :) And as John H so rightly pointed out, the Mustang turned out to be a Kittyhawk. |
