Re: 360 Degrees of Aviation
A couple of facts about it:
Only 35 where built.
It had a Molins "6-pounder Class M" cannon: this was a modified QF 6-pounder (57 mm) anti-tank gun fitted with an auto-loader to allow both semi- or fully automatic fire. One shell of this ripped an engine off a Ju-88.
This plane sunk 7 U-boats and several ships
The mosquitos in general where so feared by the german command, that if a german pilot shot one down, two kills would be given....
Just for the record - although the mosquito is my fav WW2 aircraft, I prefer the Marks VI, in my opinion the best twin engine aircraft of WW2. But the XVIII is more interesting!

Me 262. The inspiration for the wing mounted engines, and the start of the jets.

The ultimate pioneer of the jet age was also German, the Heinkel He 178.

Re: 360 Degrees of Aviation
I present you this apple - It is round, has a leaf which sort of looks like the prop on a helicopter, and has more to do with the Sikorsky Sea King then your aircraft.
EDIT: And it even flys if you throw it hard enough.
EDIT2: And it carries passengers, if you consider worms passengers.
