Hi forum, Mosquito experts,
Completing my pilot records, Netherlands Air Force, Netherlands Navy and Netherlands East Indies Air Force.
On February 11, 1946 a Sea Mosquito crashed, having departed from Croft, in the Firth (Forth?). The pilot, E.K. van Unen of the Netherlands Navy, was killed in this solo trainingflight. Was wondering if a reader knows from what squadron the Mosquito was and what serial it had.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
Benno
