It was designed by Ernie Brooks who at the time owned a garage in Spennymoor, Co. Durham. The Mosquito was built in a prefab behind his house, I had the honour of being his first apprentice and together with an Austrian friend we built these incredible machines. Sadly Ernie died after an accident in his machine during a demo at Teeside airport.
