The chances these days of seeing two Mosquitoes in the air together are pretty slim British Aerospace photographer DARRYL COTT caught the company’s Mosquito T 3, RR299, and Kermit Weeks‘s Mosquito B 35, RS712, fraternising with one another over the Hawarden area on September 29, 1987. The B 35 has since been exported to the USA, but RR299 remains in the land of its birth, the sole airworthy example of its type this side of the Atlantic.
