Why was the de Havilland "wooden wonder" Mosquito aircraft built of Wood, instead of Metal?

In 1940, de Havilland build what was probably their most famous aircraft - the DH98 Mosquito. It was made primarily of wood. Yet, as this video shows, de Havilland already had experience of making all-metal aircraft. So why did they revert back to a wooden design, when they already had experience building metal aircraft? There are a number of reasons why a wooden Mosquito makes sense, and these are explored in this video. At the de Havilland Museum, we have no less than three Mosquitos on display: the original Prototype of 1940, a Fighter-Bomber version, and a later mark Bomber version.
