Nice pix, andrewman, wish I had been there (lived there when I was at primary school and it was all Lincolns and Washingtons) – did you see my PM yet?

“Multirole fighter of WW2.
Mainly wooden, the DH98 Mosquito was a forerunner of the multi-role aircraft. This twin-engined aeroplane of WW2 came to be used in the fighter, ground attack and reconnaissance roles (JAS = jakt/anfall/spaning), as well as for training, target towing, etc. Equipped with the famous RR 1600 hp Merlin engine it had a top speed of 600 km/h. The Wooden Wonder also served in the RSwAF as the J 30 in 1 Group at Västerås as a radar-equipped night fighter from 1948 to 1954.

By the way, I am looking for more (paid) translation work! Anyone interested, please send me a PM to get my CV via E-mail!

38 P4Y-2s were transferred to the Chinese Nationalist Air Force between May of 1952 and June of 1956. They flew various missions against the Communist mainland, about which relatively few details are available, even today. A total of four were lost in action. The P4Y-2 flew its last combat mission in 1961, when a Chinese Nationalist Privateer was shot down by Burmese Hawker Sea Fury fighters while dropping supplies to rebels in the Shan State region.

The HJ711 rebuild at Elvington, Yorkshire, would be closer to you, stewart1a, it certainly looked as if it could use some volunteer help the last time I saw it, in February!
