It says something of the design philosophy that was followed at DHC, and more
of the market niche they carved out for themselves. I do not think they ever
built anything faster than a Mossie. Buffs, Caribou, Beavers, Chipmunks,
Otters, Twin Otters and Dashes were all slower, yet all post-date the Mossie.

ALL of the following were faster than the mosquito:

de Havilland Sea Vixen, Vampire and Venom - and that's only the fighters!

The Comet and Trident also come to mind.
