Mosquito Mk B 35 bomb aimer

Have made some progress on the Mosquito B 35 bomb aimers section.
Had to make it to my best knowledge and some guessing as there seems no clear picture or drawing available of it on this planet.
Next job is the mouting for the bomb sight.
Anybody who can offer one ?

Thank you Martin for your offer to look out for that cable. I have sent you a PM but it was not delivered, because your messages box is overloaded.

Thanks stirling01 and apologies for my stupidity, I was thinking that it was for taking pictures of the bomb aiming procedures:o

re : pagen01

The camera is placed there just for display purposes. The section is on wheels and in this way the whole can be removed easily.
The camera was placed somewhere behind a window in the floor or side or I have also seen it just behind the glazed nose (but not in a bomber version).

WELL DONE!

Can you label the picture and give explanations of the setup for those who do not have much info on Skeeters?

TY 🙂

Fantastic looking project and nice to see one that doesn’t centre around the pilots’ position. How does the camera work from that position?

Don’t have to search for a flexible drive cable anymore. Air Ministry has sent me a fine one and so I could complete the F-24 Camera equipment at last.
It is now connected to the bomb aimers panel. Also added a fire extinguisher from Chris.

During my stay in York last week I discovered an interesting booklet from W.H.Smith in the Aviation Classics series, Issue 10, about the D.H.Mosquito.
A lot of interesting information and photo’s. Alas a small mistake about the position of the bomb aimers panel. It is written that it was situated below the left hand nose window (page 82), but in fact this was fitted on the floor. The bombsight mounting and the bombsight computer were fixed below the left hand window.

Thanks Smirky.
I have made and installed a bomb sight mounting. Next goal is a bomb sight computer. I’m glad I decided to go on with this project. Is great fun.
