105 (B) Sqn (RAF) RAF Horsham St Faith

105 Squadron (Fortis In Proeliis) RAF Horsham. Mosquito B IV DK 299 GB-S aircraft was originally on an operation against U-boat construction yards at Flensburg, Germany. The weather conditions were poor and the crew diverted to a secondary target. Believing they were over Germany, they attacked a train. They were actually over Denmark and shot down by a Bf 109G-1 fighter piloted by Uffz Herbert Biermann of 2/JG 1 that had closed in behind the Mosquito and opened fire. The pilot, Flight Lieutenant Hughes, attempted to crash-land the damaged aircraft south of Rejsby, Denmark but as the Mosquito skidded across the fields at high speed, it crossed over a stream and hit the opposite bank, where it broke up

Pilot Flight Lieutenant GP Hughes MiD (RCAF) and Navigator Flying Officer TA Gabe (RAFVR) were both killed in action

Assigned first to 60OTU on 20 May 1943. Transferred to 141 Sqn 19 Oct 1943. Transferred to 169 Sqn, Little Snoring, Norfolk on 1 Dec 1943. Repaired on site after unknown damage on 13 Jan 1944. Made the squadron's first kill on 30 Jan 1944 when Sqn Ldr J.A.H. Cooper shot down a Bf110 west of Berlin. Departed base 22:10 15 Mar 1944 in support of a bombing mission. Hit by flak and broke up, crashing near Neu-Moresnet, Belgium (SW of Aachen) at around 23:05. The pilot, Flight Lieutenant William Foster RCAF survived the crash and was taken prisoner. Navigator Jack Grantham RAFVR lost his life in the crash.
A cockpit/forward fuselage, originally thought to be from HJ711, was held by the RAF Training Corps at Chingford c.1963. This was later found to be from an unknown FB.Mk. VI. It became part of the Reflectaire collection at Blackpool. When the artifacts were sold off in 1972, Tony Agar bought the Mosquito cockpit, which became the basis for a very long-term restoration using components from a number of other Mosquitos. The project moved from Agar's home to the Yorkshire Air Museum in Elvington in 1986. The restored aircraft, under the identity of HJ711, was moved to the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirkby in 2017. First engine runs took place 22 Sep 2018.

487 New Zealand Squadron (Ki Te Mutunga). Target - Metz, France. When crossing the enemy coast, heavy anti-aircraft fire was encountered. Wing Commander Wilson's aircraft HX 965 was repeatedly hit and sustained much damage. The navigator was mortally wounded and his parachute and equipment were set on fire. Wing Commander Wilson, unable to access the fire extinguisher, promptly smothered the flames with his hands and threw the smouldering equipment overboard. He afterwards flew the damaged bomber home to an airfield where he effected a successful crash-landing. This officer displayed great courage, skill and determination in the face of very trying circumstances. HX 965 crashed at the aerodrome at Manston, England.

One of approx. 38 Mosquitos ordered as an FB Mk. 26 but converted to dual-control T.29 by De Havilland Downsview. Some sources suggest that it was completed as an FB Mk. 26. Does not appear to have been assigned to the RAF. One of the last 6 Mosquitos that remained in storage at Crumlin in 1950 after all others were sold to Nationalist China 1947-48.Sold to Kenting Aviation Ltd. of Toronto in 1951 who applied registration CF-GKL and ferried to Oshawa ON. Presumably used for crew training or spares for other aircraft. Bought by Spartan Air Services of Ottawa ON in 1955 who de-registered the airframe and used it for parts by the end of the year.

To APDAL status with 6 REMU at Saguenay QC 1 May 1946 but returned to Dartmouth by 9 Aug 1946. To APDAL status at Dartmouth by 24 Sep 1947. To War Assets Corp. 9 June 1948 for disposal with 92 hours on the airframe.

Sold to Don McVicar/Worldwide Aviation Agencies for $1500 Cdn, along with KB377. Ferried to Montreal/Dorval by McVicar 2 July 1948 still with military markings. Re-sold shortly after to Jessie Stallings of Nashville TN. Ferried to Berry Field, Nashville and US civil registration N66313 issued along with US CofA. Stallings converted the aircraft for racing with a solid nose and bomb bay fuel tanks. Repainted/renamed as Miss Marta (for Stallings' daughter Martha) with race #81. Stallings flew Miss Marta in the 1948 Bendix Air Race from Long Beach CA to Cleveland OH (2045 miles) 4 Sep 1948, finishing 5th and last, arriving in Cleveland on one engine, still claiming a $1500 prize.

After the 1948 race, Stallings arranged a sale to Jimmie Warren of Warren Paint and Color Company, also of Nashville. Stallings ferried the aircraft to Birmingham AL but the deal fell through and ownership stayed with Stallings. 12 Jun 1951 sold to Mark Hurd Mapping Co. of Minneapolis MN. Modified for aerial mapping by Southern Airways in Birmingham AL by removing extra fuel tanks and re-installing a glass nose. On 25 Jun 1951, N66313 ground looped during takeoff for a test flight with pilot Raymond Miller. The right landing gear leg was damaged and a replacement was sourced from Canada. The aircraft was subsequently repaired. It is unknown if this company ever used the Mosquito for aerial mapping.

The aircraft was to be ferried from Birmingham to Goleta CA by pilot Marvin Dunlavy. Part way through the ferry trip in Oct 1951, during a takeoff from El Paso TX, one propeller slipped into coarse pitch causing the aircraft to swing. Both main landing gear legs were torn off along with one engine. The airframe was stripped for parts and abandoned at El Paso.sources: Geoff Goodall's Aviation History Site, warbirdregistry.org, aerialvisuals.ca

Sold to Frank and Howard Knipp, Baltimore MD in 1946. Ferried to Baltimore for a planned entry in the 1947 Bendix Trophy air race but was disallowed because it was not of US manufacture. Remained stored in a hangar at Curtiss-Wright Field, Baltimore until 1948.

Sold to Mary Nelson/Palm Springs Airport Corp Apr 1948. Ferried Baltimore-Palm Spings by Charles W. Bing. Sold on to another US dealer the same year collecting aircraft for the Israeli Air Force. One source says the a/c was returned to De Havilland Canada for overhaul before ferrying overseas.

On the ferry flight, a/c was lost in Davis Strait between Goose Bay and Narsarsuaq Greenland 17 May 1951. Civilian crew of Raymond Kurtz (pilot) and Seymour Lerner (navigator) were presumed killed. In Jul 1951, some wreckage of a Mosquito washed up on the Greenland coast and was presumed to be from KA996.

Last B.Mk. 25 built at Downsview. With No. 13 (Photographic) Sqn, 7 Photo Wing, RCAF Station Rockcliffe, April to July 1945. To Stored Reserve No. 1 Air Command, Trenton ON 29 Jun 1945. To APDAL status at 4 REMU Brantford ON 23 Mar 1946. To APDAL status at 6 RD 18 Dec 1946 and transferred to War Assets for disposal the same day.

Sold to Luis Struck (late 1946?) of Mexicana de Aerofoto S.A. of Mexico City. Ferried from Jarvis ON to Oshawa ON (possibly 29 Nov 1946) by RCAF ace Don McFadyen for preparations to deliver to Mexico. Mexican registration XB-HOB was applied over the existing camouflage paint. Some time in 1947, KA999 came to grief in a landing accident at or near Mexico City airport. One photo exists of this incident showing port undercarriage collapsed and port propeller damaged. No further information exists on its final fate.

Delivered to 139 Pathfinder Sqn on 11 Nov 1943. Prior to delivery, marked as "City of Vancouver" for one of the five cities that raised the most funds on the latest War Bond drive. Flown by Flight Lieutenant G.W. Salter, it was the first Canadian Mosquito to bomb Berlin on 2 Dec 1943. On 11 May 1944, dropped TI markers on Ludwigshafen. On return to base at Upwood, UK, a TI flare that had hung up in the bomb bay started a fire. Navigator Flying Officer Alan J.A. Woodland was able to bale out but Pilot Flying Officer Geoffrey Lewis RAFVR was killed when the aircraft crashed at Chittering. Struck off as Cat. "E" on 11 May 1944.

The Canadian Aviation Museum in Windsor, ON is building a replica of KB161 utilizing engines and some other parts recovered from ex-Spartan Air Services Mosquito B.Mk. 35 CF-HMR (ex. TA661) that crashed at Pelly Lake, NWT in 1956.

On 19 September, an order came through from Bomber Command for No. 5 Group to prepare for an attack on Bremen. Planes from No. 5 Group would be responsible for all aspects of the operation, including target illumination and marking and control of the raid. Cochrane, the AOC, would be responsible for tactics and route planning. As the day progressed, the weather forecast changed, and at 16:45 an order came through to change to the reserve targets at Rheydt and Moenchen-Gladbach.

At the flight planning conference it was decided that three areas would be attacked simultaneously; they were designated as red, green and yellow. The red area was Rheydt town centre, where the attack would be fully controlled by a master bomber who would monitor the marking and coordinate the main force bombing. The tactics of dispersed marking were untried and unrehearsed, and therefore would require expertise from the controller and markers.

The announcement that Wing Commander Guy Gibson VC would be the controller was met with general incredulity. It was assumed it would be regular controller from No. 54 Base Flight or a qualified one from No. 627 Squadron. Some suspicion started to circulate that the proposed complexity may have come from Gibson and his lack of experience in marking techniques.

As Gibson did not have a regular navigator, one had to be found to fly with him. The first choice (Charles Clark DFC) was ill, so Squadron Leader Jim Warwick was selected. He was the Station Navigation Officer and therefore screened from operations. There was also no serviceable Mosquito available at Coningsby for Gibson to use, so it was decided to use the reserve aircraft of No. 627 Squadron, located at RAF Woodhall Spa. Gibson and Warwick were driven over. When they arrived about 18:30, for unknown reasons, Gibson rejected the reserve aircraft KB213 and insisted on using the Mosquito B.XX KB267 instead. The crew who were expecting to fly in KB267 were unhappy with the change. As the two crews were performing different functions, the bomb loads had to be swapped. They took off at 19:51.

When they arrived at the target, the marking of the red area went badly wrong owing to a series of mishaps. The three markers could not identify the marking point and one aircraft had engine problems. Gibson attempted to mark it himself but his Target Indicators (TIs) did not release. As the illumination from the flares was fading, he called for more flares and warned the red section of the main force not to bomb. He then commanded them to stand by, so they started to turn away from the target. This was potentially dangerous and exposed them to further risk from flak and night fighters. Some started to bomb the green area, either out of confusion or nervousness. He then authorised the remaining aircraft to bomb the green area. The red area was eventually marked, but it was too late to direct any of the main force's aircraft to attack it. The raid concluded at 21:58. The time of Gibson's departure from the target is unknown. It is possible that he loitered in a wide, high orbit to assess the outcome and left around 22:00. One crew from No. 61 Squadron claimed they heard him say he had a damaged engine.

Gibson's aircraft crashed at Steenbergen in the Netherlands at around 22:30 and lit up in flames. Witnesses heard an aircraft flying low, saw that its cockpit was illuminated and then it crashed.At first, Gibson's failure to return to Woodhall Spa was not considered out of the ordinary, as it was assumed he had landed at Coningsby. Likewise at Coningsby there was no immediate concern as there was fog and it was assumed he would have landed elsewhere. However, it soon became apparent he had not returned. The rumour spread rapidly around No. 5 Group that he was missing. He was not posted officially as missing until 29 November,although Prime Minister Winston Churchill was informed on 26 September: "The Air Ministry have told us that Wing Commander Gibson, VC is reported missing from a recent raid in which he flew a Mosquito to Munchen Gladbach".

627 (I) Sqn (RAF) RAF Woodhill Spa

627 Squadron RAF (At first sight), RAF Woodhill Spa. 5 Group Wing Commander G P Gibson VC (RAF), who had previously led Lancaster aircraft from 617 Squadron in Operation Chastise, the Dambuster raid on the Sorpe, Mohne and Eder dams,1944-05-16/17 was now considered non-operational but wished to continue flying. With this in mind he assumed the role of Master Bomber for a Mosquito raid against targets in Monchengladbach/Rheydt, Germany, even though he had little experience with either target-marking or flying Mosquito aircraft. The officer Gibson intended to fly with as Navigator was ill and unavailable so he instead selected Squadron Leader J B Warwick DFC to fill this position. Warwick, as Station Navigation Officer, was also considered non-operational. Arriving at RAF Woodhill Spa, Gibson was offered the Squadron reserve aircraft, Mosquito KB 213 for the operation. For whatever reason, Gibson rejected KB 213 and demanded a different aircraft, choosing Canadian-built Mosquito BXX aircraft KB 267 AZ-E also displacing the crew originally assigned to KB 267 and proceeded with the mission. The target marking at Rheydt was not very successful for a number of reasons and Mosquito KB 267 eventually turned for home. Flying low over the Netherlands the aircraft abruptly rolled and flew into the ground, crashing and burning at Steenbergen, Noord Brabant, Netherlands with the loss of both Gibson and Warwick

Wing Commander G P Gibson VC, DSO and Bar, DFC and Bar (RAF) pilot and Squadron Leader J B Warwick DFC (RAFVR) were both killed in action

The cause of loss of the aircraft and crew was not absolutely determined. The aircraft was observed flying at low level when the engines cut out and it suddenly dived into the ground, which would suggest a possible fuel or engine issue. The aircraft loss does not appear on the 627 Squadron Operations Record Book because the aircraft was taken away from 627. The crash card for KB 267 indicates that it was flown by Gibson and Warwick and was missing on the date of the operation to Monchengladbach.

To USAAF as the third F-8. RAF serial appears to never have been worn, the US serial being applied at the factory. 43-34926 was sent to Peterson Field in Colorado Springs, Colorado for installation of photo reconnaissance equipment.The F-8s carried a single camera port on the centre-line of the aft fuselage, a port in forward end of the the left hand bomb bay door and were also capable of carrying a forward oblique mount in the nose compartment, shooting through the bomb aimer's centre panel. 43-34926 then went to Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio for installation of American radio equipment and further testing. From Wright Field, it appears that that the aircraft was flown back to the de Havilland plant at Downsview, possibly for final updates or correction of some fault.

It was at Downsview that Maj. James F. Setchell was assigned as the pilot of F-8 serial number 43-34926 which was named "The Spook." His navigator was Capt. Jerome C. Alexander. The name was painted on both sides of the nose in flamboyant yellow and black letters while still at Downsview. The name "The Spook" was allegedly for the pilot's new son as he considered him one of the scariest-looking babies he had ever seen.

"The Spook" was to be assigned to the 3rd Photographic Group (Reconnaissance), part of the 12th Air Force, based in North Africa. According to the log book kept by Setchell, the route flown took them from Downsview to La Marsa, Tunisia (near Tunis) by way of Goose Bay, Labrador; Bluie West One, Greenland; Meeks Field, Iceland; Prestwick, Scotland: St. Mawgan, Cornwall; and Casablanca. Morocco. The aircraft arrived at La Marsa on 18 Oct 1943. It then flew to Algiers 10 Nov 1943 with Lt. Col. Elliott Roosevelt, son of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and commander of the 3rd Photographic Group (Reconnaissance) in North Africa. Repositioned to San Severo, Italy 7 Dec 1943. On 15 and 16 Jan 1944 "the Spook" flew through intense flak yet returned with valuable photographic reconnaissance, earning Setchell the DFC. Flown by another pilot the aircraft was written off after a crash-landing at Pomigliano, Italy on August 19, 1944.KB315 was the only Canadian-built B.Mk. VII to see combat service with the USAAF.

The a/c was ferried to Southern Airways in Birmingham AL to remove all racing modifications and convert it for photo survey work, including refitting of the original bomb bay doors. Further work was done in Goleta CA. On 13 Sep 1952, while parked at Las Vegas-McCarran Field NV, the compressed air cylinder for the brakes exploded, blowing a 3-foot hole in the fuselage aft of the starboard wing. The airframe was considered a write-off and was abandoned, and scrapped c. 1957.

Some sources report this as one of the last 6 Mosquitos that remained in storage at Crumlin in 1950 after all others were sold to Nationalist China 1947-48. However this does not agree with the RCAF record card. To instructional A516 at Camp Borden ON. Sold to Babb Company (Canada) of Dorval, Quebec. May have been resold to either Israel or the Dominican Republic.

Ferry Flight 1944-12-10 to 1944-12-10

45 (T) Group (RAF) Dorval, Quebec

45 Group RAF Transport Command, Dorval Quebec. Canadian-built Mosquito aircraft KB 536 took off from RCAF Station Summerside, PEI for a ferry flight to the UK under conditions of low visibility. The aircraft was heard from shortly after take off and then no further contact before it crashed into Bedeque Bay, PEI. Subsequent searches located wreckage of the aircraft in shallow water about 12 miles south of Summerside, and a quarter of a mile off shore from Sea Cow Head

Pilot Sub/Lt S Breck (RNAF) and Wireless Operator/Navigator FE Sorensen (RAAF) were missing, presumed killed in this flying accident

The missing have no known grave and both are commemorated on the Ottawa Memorial

Oil cooler problems on Canadian-built Mosquitos being flown in colder weather resulting in several crashes of these aircraft while being ferried. This became a serious issue for 45 Group, such that after the loss of KB 536, Mosquitos were ferried via the Southern Route, across the Atlantic from Nata, Brazil to Dakar, Senegal and then North to Britain until it was determined how to deal with cold weather operations

Fatal crash on 4th production flight test in Dec 1944. Crew of two civilians was killed. One source gives the date as 23 Dec 1944. Crash was due to jammed aileron, caused by a wooden plug in the aileron nose tube that worked loose and fouled the hinges. Immediate inspections were ordered of all Mosquitos in Canada. Nine were found with missing screws in the aileron plug and another twenty where the plug was loose.

LR 503

Merlin 72

Built in early 1943 and delivered to 109 Pathfinder Sqn at Wyton with squadron code HS-C. 109 Sqn pioneered the use of "Oboe" high-precision blind-bombing equipment. It is possible (but unconfirmed) that LR503 was an Oboe-equipped aircraft because most of 109's Mosquitos had Oboe, as did 105 Sqn, to which LR503 was later transferred. Also, in-service photographs of LR503 show the nose glazing painted over, which was a common practice with Oboe Mosquitos. First combat sortie was to Krefeld on 21 Jun 1943, marking targets for heavy bombers. The first 100 missions were completed within 12 months. LR503 made two Pathfinder trips on 6 Jun 1944 (D-Day) to drop target indicators on both the Longues-sur-Mer coastal battery and the town of St-Lo. By its 213th and last mission flown to Leipzig on 10 Apr 1945, LR503 had flown more missions than any other Allied bomber of the war.

Near the end of the war in Europe, the National War Finance Committee in Canada had requested a famous RAF aircraft and/or aircrew to support a Victory bond drive. At first, 105 Sqn was to send aircraft GB-D but it had suffered a number of mechanical problems and LR503 (known as F-for-Freddie with the 105 Sqn code GB-F-bar) replaced it. The crew was experienced: Flight Lieutenant J. Maurice W. Briggs, DFM, DFC, DSO, and Flying Officer John C. Baker, DFC and bar had flown 107 trips in Mosquito B.Mk. IXs with 1409 Meteorological Flight, flying in daylight and assessing weather conditions over Europe ahead of planned bombing missions. At the end of 1944 they were both transferred to 45 Group (formerly Ferry Command) and delivered several new Canadian-built Mosquitos to Britain.

Briggs and Baker flew LR503 via the North Atlantic Ferry Route in the westbound direction, completing the final non-stop leg from Greenland to Ottawa-Rockliffe on 2 May 1945 in record time. In the next few days the tour passed through Montreal, Toronto, Downsview, Winnipeg, Regina and Saskatoon, passing over as many smaller centres as possible along the way, entertaining (or annoying) the population with displays of very low and fast flying. They arrived in Calgary on 9 May, making extremely low passes between the major downtown buildings as well over as the airport itself. There were reports of the Mosquito passing under a trestle bridge in the city. Briggs had completed his BCATP pilot training in Calgary in 1943. A crowd had gathered at Calgary airport on the afternoon of 10 May to see LR503 fly. After some delays due to engine adjustments, Briggs and Baker took off and made 2 very fast low passes over the Calgary control tower and the crowd. On the third pass, LR503 struck weather equipment and a flagpole on top of the Calgary control tower, shearing off the left wing and the tailplane. The aircraft crashed and burned in a field some distance away, taking the lives of the crew.
