Mosquito landings

In this case I asked because this certain pilot used kilometers per hour when he wrote about a wheels up landing in the sea. He says the Mossie took the water at 220 kilometers per hour, which I found quite quick.
These speed conversations is not my strong side and I started to wonder if the publisher got it all wrong. 105 miles pr hour would put it in the range of 160 kilometers per hour, which is quite slower than what he wrote in the book.

I would expect the flaps being all up for this landing too.

Weight is by far the dominant parameter, and should always be quoted, although landings are usually assumed to be with an empty aircraft with only a small amount of fuel. Mark No changes will be small in comparison. As the landing speed is quoted in Air Speed not Ground Speed then wind, altitude, temperature are all accounted for. Now if the original poster had asked for the landing distance, then they would matter.

Also depends whether it is being wheeled on, or brought in for the proper three pointer. The degree of twitch of the navs ring also counts.

How long’s a piece of string…?

Varies with the Mark number, weight, clean or flaps, power on or off – and even airfield elevation and temperature!

100-105mph with flaps down, 115mph for a flapless landing

Anybody know the correct landing speed for a Mosquito in miles per hour?

That’s going to depend on the windspeed, load etc, shirley.
