Mosquito Island
Moskito Island (sometimes spelled Mosquito Island) is an island off the coast of Virgin Gorda and has long been a favourite for scuba divers and sailors. For many years the island was the location of a sail-in dive resort named Drake's Anchorage. Sir Richard Branson purchased the island in 2007 for £10 million. Branson announced in 2011 that he planned to relocate ring-tailed lemurs from some zoos in Canada, Sweden, and South Africa to the island. Later relocations of red ruffed lemurs and possibly sifakas might follow. The announced plans were met with some criticism. The island is located on the west side of Gorda Sound adjacent to Virgin Gorda and near Necker Island, which is also owned by Branson. Barack Obama visited the island in February 2017, and learned how to kiteboard there, shortly after his retirement as President of the United States. History The Virgin Islands were an early haunt of buccaneers and pirates and have a long history of trade. Much of the kn ...

Focke-Wulf Ta 154
The Focke-Wulf Ta 154 ''Moskito'' was a fast twin-engined night fighter aircraft designed by the Nazi Germany, German aeronautical engineer Kurt Tank and produced by the aircraft manufacturer Focke-Wulf. It was unofficially named ''Moskito'' due to its similarities with the de Havilland Mosquito (which was also largely made of wood) that were already in service with the Royal Air Force (RAF). The Ta 154 commenced development in 1942 and was worked on during much of the latter half of the Second World War. It was designed to replace variants of the Messerschmitt Bf 110 and Junkers Ju 88 and function as a specialised night fighter. As per a stipulation issued by the Ministry of Aviation (Nazi Germany), ''Reichsluftfahrtministerium'' (RLM), wood comprised over half of the material needed to build the Ta 154. A special phenolic resin adhesive called Tego film was used to bond sections together. It was originally designated ''Ta 211'' in reference to the intended Junkers Jumo 211, Jum ...
