Yes, it’s an enduring myth.

A kill was a kill.

There was a “points” system I believe, but I don’t pretend to understand it.

I’m sure at one point in 633 Squadron (thanks Neilly!) that pilot Cliff Robertson exits his Mossie before his Navigator.

Neat trick, that.

Hmmm.

Works from over at the 12 O’Clock High site. (http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=5448&page=2)

See if that works now – works OK from my end.

Combat reports are here:

Search on Austeen. Three-and-a-half quid per file, but in some cases there’s several reports in a single file.

Norwegian Squadron ORBs here:

http://presentations.uib.no/pls/port…ABELL_910.show

His activities on 331 and 332 should be in there.

There’s a World War II in Norway forum over here:

That’s from the Luftwaffe Losses CD from the “Anglo-Deutsches Erinnerungs Gruppe”. It’s on ebay from time to time.

Great to see !! any idea when the other Mossie will be back in the air?

Just had a thought brought on by the Chinese Sterling tread…what about the Mossies that went to China post war?

Apparently there’s a bit of wing section built onto something of a replica in a Beijing air museum, seems to be about it. Can’t imagine anything else would remain – long since burnt/melted down/vulcanised/etc.

Sounds like someone took a page out of the Richard Daley Airport Administration rulebook.

And yet, on the very day this was posted, 7,000 Elvises descended on a small town in New South Wales.

A simple coincidence?

Or, as some of us believe, something more?

Just to let you guys know, I passed the information on to Uwe Benkel via the original thread, and asked for location, but pretty much as predicted, there’s been no reply.

Will post again if anything is forthcoming.

No worries gnome. Never actually used that site myself so really wasn’t sure whether it was what you were after or not.

Hi David:

Many thanks for that!

I’ll pass your info along to Uwe over at the original thread.

I’ll also ask him for location – sometimes this isn’t forthcoming, possibly due to “souvenir-hunter avoidance”, also possibly due to “over-zealous-local-officialdom avoidance”; can’t say for sure.

Thanks once again,

Mark

Hi David:

Thanks for the info. I don’t have any indication of where the aircraft was found, though there’s a post on another board about some (possible) Mossie wreckage having been found near Donauwoerth. I reckon that one may have been NS521, but that’s just a guess, and whether it’s the one Uwe Benkel is asking about, I also don’t know.

Construction number info for Mossies seems to be exceptionally rare.

Many thanks Bruce, clears up a puzzler.
