Hi Guys, just been sent the last 4 photos of the batch my dad took at Horse Guards parade in 1968.
I have had a look on the Out of Service British Military Aircraft web site, The Lysander is now at Hendon.
As you can see only part of the serial number I cannot be sure which Mosquito this is.
There are 2 on the site TA634 which is now at De Havilland Museum or TA639 now at Cosford.

All of these aircraft were included in the RAF review held at Abingdon in 1968 (one of the most memorable events I’ve attendedover the years). I didn’t realise that so many aircraft were exhibited that same year on HGP – was that after or before the Aningdon event? V. interesting pics.
Tim,
It was in September 1968 during Battle of Britain week.

The Mossie is TA639.

I agree that it might be a Beaufighter. Great photos by the way!
It’s Beaufighter RD867 which is now in Canada. The Mosquito is the Cosford example, TA639.

A Beaufighter perhaps….(just a wild guess)?

What’s the black radial engined plane behind the Mossie?
