Yes, DavidGeorge, very interested! I did manage to contact “Stevie”‘s son a while ago, and found he sadly died just before. He was not able to find his logbooks. See my post 9, above.

Just trying to imagine what BR might be. It seems possible that it could refer to both machinery and buildings as being beyond repair.

I agree that the P2 looks good in any scheme, but my favourite is about as simple as they come. I took it on home ground at Geneva Classics 2009, all nice and polished. I hope you don’t mind me bending the thread.

Ask the RAF Museum for its record card in RAF service. I recently did this for another Argus and got it within a reasonable delay. It shows the units it served with, although it may not be complete.

A few more of the Swiss Mosquito, including the Mamba set-up.

If you read the link given by Snafu, above, and scroll down, you will see that there is a very similar “original” photo of this Mosquito (from the collection of H. Dominik). Even further down the page is Duggy’s photo and some of the Mosquito in different markings and its final destruction.

More information is given in the 1974 book by Jakob Urech on Swiss military aircraft. It was PRIV DK310 LY-G.

Sabrejet: “restaurateur” fits both professions!
