Aviation Interest - the prototype teak wind tunnel aerodynamic testing model for the Mosquito Fighter Bomber, 52cm long This large, attractive wind-tunnel model, c.1940, is superbly constructed of teak wood throughout and is of the final version of the prototype of the legendary DeHavilland `Mosquito` fighter bomber. It is almost certainly that used in the Farnborough wind-tunnel by Thomas Summerville and Chrystelle Fougere (see attched obituary extract from The Times, June 24, 2009) in their research on vibration and buffeting, as it features the extended engine nacelles beyond the trailing edge of the wing. On the original first prototype (W4050) these nacelles were much smaller and shorter, but unfortunately they are not visible in the accompanying framed photograph of this historic aircraft parked at Salibury Hall, not far from DeH`s main factory at Hatfield, as the comouflage tarpaulins are draped over that part of the wing. In production, only ten Mark I photo-recce and ten Mark IV bombers featuring these short nacelles were built. Another interesting and significant item on this model is the presence of the tear-drop rear vision `blister` on the side of the cockpit; this protrusion could possibly also be contributory to airflow disturbance over the tail plane, so presumably was incorporated on the wind-tunnel model for this reason. No fewer than twenty-seven different versions of the Mosquito (by then a multi-role combat aircraft) were eventually produced during the war, but only a limited number featured this rear-view `blister`
