The Wooden Wonder
Framed Collector's Pieces in tribute to the Mosquito!
At a time when metal was in extremely short supply, the unique Mosquito, built mainly of wood, became possibly the most versatile aircraft of WWII. No other Allied military aircraft was built in so many versions for so many roles – some 43 different variants produced during a long and distinguished career!

In tribute to all those who flew this magnificent aircraft, our expert framing team have included the original pencil autographs of two highly-regarded Mosquito veterans within the conservation matting:
