The peoples mosquito sounds communist..

Yeah I woulda picked a name without so much baggage

Smiles, those Reds under the Bed have infiltrated "their people" everywhere!

This lot is riddled with references to "The People", it all looks very "sus", must be a communist manifesto? The Peoples Nation?

But "The Peoples Mosquito" is ok, the mossie is just a group seeking general public support and notional public ownership of their outcome, not so much "communist plot", but a "community effort".

The positive response was overwhelming, with general messages of support coming from all over the world and from all types of people. The idea was quickly taken up by other tweeters and it wasn’t long before a core group had come together that eventually transformed into The People’s Mosquito movement.

Funding for the project will reflect the public movement seen during the Second World War when many aircraft were funded by “the people”: companies, towns, villages and organisations. We plan to replicate that model by asking the people of the United Kingdom to help us restore to airworthy condition this magnificent flying memorial that captures the spirit, design brilliance and above all the courage of our nation.

so we are now officially The People’s Mosquito Ltd. As such we will maintain and operate the restored aircraft, funded by public donation, sponsorship and income from sale of branded merchandise, with the intention of providing many hours of flying displays every year for the people of the United Kingdom.

When we set out on this journey our first task was to gauge your reaction. Would you ‘the People’ be interested in making this happen? Indeed, in these straitened times would there be any public appetite for such a bold endeavour? We asked you to tell us what you thought. Well, over the past two years you have told us. We are very grateful for the great response we have had from so many fearless, lion-hearted and public-spirited people

But You've got to be careful of "the People", otherwise they will all demand the right to bear arms, and then where would we be?

I want to see The People's Liberator - a brand new B-24 is built and flown state to state. Possible?

[DH82EH]

Well Chris, there is a B-24 wing going begging on another thread.
All you'd need to do is round up, oh, I dunno 15-20 $mil. and you're on your way.

I was going to make a joke that it sounded like the North Korean air force, glad I didn't.
Some folks here don't seem to have a sense of humor...oh well.

I know right?! Doesn't it always come down to money?
