    You maybe right, Mike – time will tell. I assumed TV959 might’ve been coming home because of the short time span and as no-one had seemed to have mentioned this airframe I thought I’d see if there was any reaction to my suggestion.

    Chers,

    Hi All,

    I haven’t read all the posts on here properly, so if I repeat something, apologies.

    As far as I know Glyn Powell’s Mosquito has been sold the Rod Lewis in Texas (so I’ve been informed). The Mosquito that I think that is coming back is TV959. This Mosquito had its starboard wing cut off so it could fit in the London Science Museum. I know its been residing with Avspecs for the last couple of years.

    Cheers,
    Neil

    Hi All,

    Just been chatting to a mate of mine and he says – The old Avro Hangar has been sold to a guy in Yorkshire, who also owns his own light aircraft. The far end of the main runway will not be ripped up just yet, because it comes under a different council than the rest of the airfield. 603 is about to have £60,000 spent on her – nice new paint job amongst other things. The Avro Museum (the old fire station), of which 603 will be the centre piece, will be ready in the not too distant future.

    Cheers,
    Neil

    Hi,

    I think the bit of fuselage sticking up is the bomb bay door.

    The problem you have with determining the height of the Mosquito relative to the surround buildings is the lack of lens information. Having seen actual film footage taken of the raid on the Shell House – the Mosquitoes were doing some quite tight low level turns. I think that picture is probably 100% genuine.

    Derek Carter is the person to get hold of – he’s probably got more information about this raid than anyone.

    Cheers,
    Neil

    Hi Axel,

    I love the B-25 shot, too. It’s very atmospheric. I took a similar picture of KA114 at the Hamilton show – The light was horrible for that particular shot so I tried B&W and it didn’t look to bad.

    TTFN,
