Flektor Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I doubt Parker Knoll have the skills to make one nowadys. Bit of pine, a staple gun and bit of evostik does not a Mosquito make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LanceB Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 What I want to know is what on Earth is that Coastal Command Mozzie doing to that poor freighter in May of 1945 (the date apparently given for that marking option)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHWinter Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) What he's doing? Nothing but what those young lads in the cockpit were used to doing before breakfeast, just like the lads on the other side: Fight! Kill! Fight! Kill! Fight! Kill! The boxart simply might depict the morning of May 8th 1945 and - "Baby, it ain't over 'till it's over"! Edited March 18, 2016 by RHWinter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceB Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Whoops - my mistake. Somehow I had it in my head the shooting in Europe stopped in late April. Forgot there was still a week in May when the shooting was still going on. Doubt there were many German freighters out and about that week, though, so that Mozzie crew must have been exceptionally lucky to find one. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisov Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 If you can find them have a read of 'The Strike Wings' by Roy Conners Nesbitt and a 'Separate Little War' by Andrew Bird. Both give an interesting insight into the later days of the War and first days of peace if I remember correctly. Or google will probably help - Banff Strike Wing. Cheers Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Chris Yes, that solves things - looks like that box art represents the May 4 action. However the curse about reading up on things - it seems while the action in the box art is accurate, the armament is not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
