Just found this excellent video on the Merlin Formation. More info about the flight in the video itself.
Am now very envious of those Canadians around Hamilton. Must have been a great show!

A friend of my fathers got a chance to fly that Mossie a couple of years back. He flew a pathfinder Mossie during the war.

Here is a list of all surviving Mosquitoes:

A number are under restoration.

So nice that these old machines are living on, functional and even accessible to the public. It is exemplary of good cultural and historical preservationist ethics.
