HR339 is believed to the only Mosquito delivered to New Zealand in the Brown/Green camouflage scheme – anyone know why?
Can any of you Mosquitoites answer this?
The above quote was taken from Brendon Deere’s site:

I have also included a picture from the site showing the fin (photo credit Brendon Deere)
HR339 was ex 487 Sqn RNZAF EG:B & V. To the RNZAF as NZ2382 and served with 75 Sqn as YC:C.

At least the ’82 had the right number of Merlins & sounded right.
ps. Hey John, I am at “work” – what is your excuse?

Hi MacFire
Well in some cases that could make a lot of difference ………between flying a Trojan (28) and an Twin Mustang(82) but I suppose they are both North american !!!

Just a minor correction. HR339 did not serve with 75Sqn she was one of the mossies destined for storage. YC-C was NZ2328 ex TE758. By a strange twist even though she was never so marked HR339 was allocated the NZ2382 serial.
