Anyone got any pictures (or know of a source) of the T3 Mosquito cockpit, especially the part BEHIND the seats?
Found a couple of the instrument area, but nothing ‘in the back’.
ON the same track, does anyone have a ‘full’ photo of RR299 when in/just out of RAF service in overall aluminium with dayglo banding? I have so far only seen the rear fuselage.

DaveF86, Don’t know much, it was taken at Turnhouse in the 60’s, after they had finished active service, according to Colin they used to turn up to give local Teritorial Army mock targets for gunnery practise !

Thanks for that Keith. Do you know when it was taken?
I’m interested as there is a picture in Gerry Manning’s colour picture book “Military Aircraft of the 60s” of TA719 at Shawbury in 1963, in storege after retirement. Immediately in front/behind it is the tail of another Mosquito in the 60s training scheme of aluminium with dayglo red/orange stripes. The whole serial no isn’t visible, but the numerals are ‘299’ and the preceding letter looks like a ‘P’ or an ‘R’. I’m making the assumption that this is RR299, as all other ‘299’ serialled Mossies had long since been SOC!!
