NZ2336/TE910 is painted in honour of the crew of Mosquito FB.VI NT131/EG-D of No.487 (New Zealand) Squadron, F/O Ronald Beazer, RNZAF, and navigator P/O Andy Munro, RAFVR. During Classic Fighters 2023 she had both Merlin 25s running.
After some 'cosmetic modifications', such as the fitting of the Browning gun barrels in the nose and the 20mm cannon in the belly, this former RAFM Hendon T.III represents a 333 Squadron FB.VI (coded 'KK-T') after returning home to Norway in June 1945.
The fuselage of TJ118 took centre stage in 'Plywood: Material of the Modern World' at the V&A Museum. TJ118 spent most of her service life with 3 CAACU at Exeter. Vaguely discernible is serial number NS710, a PR.XVI serving with the Americans at Watton.
Since 1969 Tony Agar is working on the rebuild of HJ711, which comprises parts from RS715, PF498 and VA878. The Mosquito NF.II is in her original 169 Squadron markings when stationed at RAF Little Snoring in early 1944.
