No problem
Hi JDK,
No problem:) but newspaper journalists may not even take any time to identify a Spitfire, from a Tempest or a Mosquito as they are possibly to many of them (not all I must add) are just another vintage ‘relic’ aircraft.
Forgetting as journalists of course that they (and us) continue to think, speak and write in English as our predominant language thanks to the thousands who flew these aircraft and their Great War (predecessor) aircraft in ultra tough conditions and maintained our freedom and the sovereignty of this still great island nation. Each aircraft had it’s strengths and weaknesses and weren’t all a simple ‘job lot’ of metal on a journalists shorthand scribble pad.
I too have not found a reference for a Mosquito doing any tipping of V1s.
