Mosquito (Total: 7,777, Canadian: 69, Group 69)
de Havilland Mosquito

The de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito was a British twin-engine shoulder-winged multi-role combat aircraft, introduced during the Second World War. It was one of few operational front-line aircraft of the era whose frame was constructed almost entirely of wood. Nicknamed The Wooden Wonder, it was affectionately as the "Mossie" to its crews. The total number of DH98 Mosquito aircraft built was 7,781, the type serving with the main Allied air forces, including both the United States and Russia.
When Mosquito production began in 1941 it was the fastest propeller driven operational aircraft in the world. The first variant was an unarmed, high-speed, high-altitude photo-reconnaissance aircraft. Originally conceived as an unarmed fast bomber, the Mosquito's use evolved during the war into many roles including low to medium-altitude daytime tactical bomber, high-altitude night bomber, pathfinder, day or night fighter, fighter-bomber, intruder, and maritime strike aircraft. It was also used by the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) as a fast transport to carry small high-value cargoes to, and from, neutral countries, through enemy-controlled airspace. The crew of two, pilot and navigator, sat side by side, but a single passenger could ride in the aircraft's bomb bay when necessary.
The Mosquito FB Mk. VI was often flown in special raids, such as Operation Jericho, an attack on Amiens Prison in early 1944, and precision attacks against military intelligence, security and police facilities (such as Gestapo headquarters). On the 10th anniversary of the Nazi' seizure of power in 1943, a morning Mosquito attack knocked out the main Berlin broadcasting station while Hermann Goering was speaking, putting his speech off the air. Goering later said: "It makes me furious when I see the Mosquito. I turn green and yellow with envy. There is nothing the British do not have. They have the geniuses and we have the nincompoops."
The Mosquito flew with the RCAF and other air forces in the European, Mediterranean and Italian theatres. After the end of the Second World War Spartan Air Services flew 10 ex-RAF Mosquitoes, mostly B.35's plus one of only six PR.35's built, for high-altitude photographic survey work in Canada. There are approximately 30 non-flying Mosquitos around the world with five airworthy examples, four in the United States, and one in Canada. Harold Skaarup web page and Wikipedia

Delivered directly into storage and moved between numerous units and storage facilities. By 1960 used by 3CAACU, possibly for pilot conversion training (dual controls, no evidence that target towing equipment was installed). One of 5 Mosquitos taking part in a farewell flypast at Exeter on 9 May 1963. Was given ground instructional number 7805M when struck off charge. Designated for museum use and sent to RAF Museum storage at Henlow.Loaned to Mirisch Films in Jul-Aug 1963 for flying scenes in "633 Squadron" film at RAF Bovingdon, wearing camouflage paint and fictional codes HR155 HT-M. Because it had dual controls, TW117 was used for conversion training for civilian pilots flying for the film in Jul 1963. Returned to storage until 1972, then sent to RAF Museum London (Hendon) for display until 1991.
Through a complicated trade in late 1991, TW117 went to the Norwegian Defense Museum at Gardermoen (Oslo), delivered by 3 Feb 1992. Moved to the National Norwegian Aviation Museum at Bodo 22 May 1995. Nose was converted to FB.Mk. VI configuration and aircraft was repainted with the squadron codes KK-T and the colours of RAF 333 (Norwegian) Sqn which operated with the Banff Strike Wing in 1944.
