163 Squadron RAF was re-formed at RAF Wyton in Jan 45, between then and the wars ends they flew 500 sorties. Mosquito's of the squadron visited Berlin 24 times in March 45. Mosquito Squadrons Of The RAF by Chaz Bowyer lists 16 serial number/code letter combinations, however even the RAF's own website under its Bomber Command history section lists Squadron Codes as 'unknown'! I have seen photographs of 163 aircraft (including RAF Wyton's excellent Pathfinder Collection brochure) but always frontal views with no codes visible. I find it amazing that even the RAF apparently don't know what codes were issued for the squadron. Has anyone ever come up with a possible answer? Did they even use codes or simply individual aircraft letters? Does the assembled expertise of the forum have any ideas?
