FlyPast  |  September 2013
September’s massive 132-page FlyPast brings you the best in historic aviation from around the globe. In this edition we include a 22-page special focusing on one of the icons of British World War Two aviation, the de Havilland Mosquito. We look at the famous ‘wooden wonder’s combat debut, and its essential role as a ‘nuisance raider’ in attacks on the German capital. Also, Geoff Jones provides an exclusive interview with the pilots who fly the world’s only airworthy ‘Mossie’, KA114 – accompanied by some amazing air-to-air photography.
LYSANDER AND SEA VIXEN HEADLINES
Hendon’s Westland Lysander is about to be restored and repainted, and the world’s only flying Sea Vixen is back in the air following a minor accident last year. Plus news on a Harrier for the expanding Classic Air Force collection, and an unusual fate for a damaged Dakota.
FLYING LEGENDS
It’s that time of year again – FlyPast visits a sun-soaked Flying Legends airshow at Duxford, plus reports from Old Warden, Manston and more.

SKYRAIDER IN THE SPOTLIGHT
