One of our neighbours, Ronnie Styth, flew Mosquito NF36s, and in particular RL239, which served with 141sqn. till June 1946, 199 sqn. Oct 1953 and was s.o.c. 3/1/55.
When he flew with 141 it had the squadron code TW, and he was wondering if anyone had the individual code letter for this aircraft?
Probably a long shot, I know.
Cheers

Hi Pete,
RL239 was TW-D. There’s a photo of this particular Mosquito in the book Mosquito Squadrons of the RAF by Chaz Bowyer.
Hope this helps,
Neil
Hi Neil
Thats brilliant, many thanks.
I asume then that Ronnie does not have that book!
I will see if I can source a copy of it if that is the case.
Bruce, I had not come across that site before, I guess it would also be of assisstance to Brian, who was asking about THUM flights.

Peter,
I am good on nuts and bolts, but less good on historicals.
Post this on the forum at www.mossie.org and I am sure you will get an answer.

Pete,
Regret I know nothing about your Mosquito, but could I ask if your friend was with 141 Squadron at any time between 1947 and 1951? My interest is in the THUM flights during this period, and 141 shared the task, on a rotation basis, with 23, 25, 29, 85, 141 and 264 Sqns.
Although I have a considerable amount of knowledge about Met Flights and THUM Flights before 1947 and after 1951, the intervening period is proving difficult and I would very much appreciate making contact with anyone who flew with any of these squadrons.
