AIM

This is a publicity project that is our attempt to raise the profile of, and to tell the story behind, David Hall's  Kemble Mossie Project. This is David's remarkable attempt to re-create a de Havilland Mosquito B.IV to ground running condition.

AS time goes on we we hope to record the progress of the project as well as giving an insight into the David's skill and determination to realize a dream of having something in the UK to remember this fantastic aircraft and the people who designed, built and flew her.  There are several fronts on which we are actively working to promote the fascinating story and progress of the Kemble Mossie Project:

• BCH Website and the Internet

• Parramatter - the BCH Newsletter

• "Giving it a go!" - The Video of the project

• BCH Roadshow Display Stand at shows and events (particularly those at Kemble Airfield)

• MEDIA - Pres Releases and Articles to the media Including specialist Warbird and Heritage Magazines

• Newsletters of other aviation groups and heritage organizations

• Parts Appeals - to source crucial items or resources for the project

• Act as an advocate within the BAPC

LATEST

Work is continuing on generating content for the Video. We've started to record in detail the operation of the systems installed - downward identification signalling lights and a general tour of the basic pilots flight instruments and systems. Our next task is to start to record "interviews" with David where we cover some of the background to the subject and the trails and tribulations of getting the project off the ground and keeping going.

Although the BCH Roadshow has been stripped back for the 2004 Season, to concentrate on our projects, wee are nevertheless going to appear with the Kemble Mossie on the BCH Stand at the Kemble Open Day on 12th Sep 2004. Many thanks again to Devonair Aviation Services for hosting.

BACKGROUND

Roll-out of the mated fuselage sections from the C2 Hangar at Kemble

The main fuselage roll-out and appearance at the Kemble PFA Rally in 2003 was a key event that enabled us to generate "newsworthy" Press Releases and Articles about the project. Flypast Magazine were kind enough to include this event in their editorial, out of which David was contacted and a vital set of main undercarriage wheels were recently forthcoming for the next stage of the project. For this alone we feel our efforts have been worthwhile.

Other groups in their Newsletters have covered the project, including the much-respected Milton Keynes Aviation Society (MKAS). We were also fortunate enough to be allowed to do a BCH Display Stand at their Bomber Crew Forum 2003 event, on which we included information about David's project.

The real eye-catcher though, of course, has been having the Kemble Mossie on our BCH Roadshow Display Stand at the Kemble-based events in the 2003 season. Including The Vintage Fly-In and the PFA Rally.
