28ZComeback Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 http://avions-de-la-guerre-d-algerie.over-blog.com/article-134-de-havilland-mosquito-francais-118367942.html About halfway down this link is a side view of postwar PF659 identified as a PR.34 of the RAF. Would anyone care to comment on the unit, location and color scheme? It may be overall aluminum but I am not sure. Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Womby Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 The few bits of info. I can find indicates she was with 81 Squadron in the Far East. I think that's overalll silver or aluminum paint although the lower part of the engine nacelle is intriguing. Is that just shadow? David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Don't trust ANY of the captions on that page as most are blatantly wrong! TT.35s listed as PR16s for Cliff's sake... Some nice photos there, none of which I've seen before, especially the last one of a Sea Mosquito TR33. Looks to be one of the early ones with the De Havilland u/c. Thanks for that. PF659 Built by Percival at Luton between 6/9/45 - 26/7/46. Probably shadow - the photo quality is too poor to tell much and most of their aircraft were in overall Aluminium dope.
