Did our much loved but sadly lost mosquito have dummy guns added to its nose for the film like the aircraft in 633 squadron did?Anyone know?Haven't seen the film in years, so can't comment, but it would have been made up to match the others, at least in terms of colour scheme.Nor in June 1982, the penultimate 'on airfield' Air Display at Liverpool (Speke) AirportThank you for the gratuitous opportunity to post photos of the absolutely delightful Mosquito T.3 RR299/HT:E (G-ASKH).

The two films do get confused, both being some time ago! "Mosquito Squadron" seems to have surfaced again at the top of the military movies channels.

The film's opening prologue states: "This story is inspired by the exploits of the Royal Air Force and Commonwealth Mosquito air crews during World War II." Add more and vote on your favourites! The colour scheme worn is that applied for the film, with the fictitious film side codes still worn 5 years on, although I do recall that the scheme was reapplied at some stage in the years after the filming. The only other information I can give you is that the film was shot in 1963 and by the time the film was released my father was in the Far East.

I have no idea . These were made to resemble FB MkVI (fighter bomber) versions by painting over the clear perspex nosecones and side windows and fitting dummy machine gun barrels. An RAF base since 1941, Bovingdon was used in the filming of 633 Squadron, Battle of Britain and Mosquito Squadron in the 1960s, but was eventually closed down by the Ministry of Defence in 1972. How they were attached is a mystery as I would be surprised if they drilled holes in the nose for this purpose.I’ve read Colin’s Book it’s excellent!

Having been on a B17 I never understood why the Mosquito, which was faster, more able, and carried a larger bombload didn't replace it.I was touring a B-17 with an American friend of mine who was also the crew chief of maintenance of that fort at the time.In defence I did state that it was a 'gratuitous opportunity' to post photos of a splendid aircraft.
