Reported with No. 410 (NF) Squadron, RCAF. Scored this units first Mosquito kill, a Do 217 near Hartlepool, UK on 22 January 1943. Operating from Acklington.

From The RCAF Overseas, Volume 1: The First Four Years

Despite the uniformly bad weather at the end of 1942 and the beginning of 1943, there were many operational sorties. However, there were few contacts with Jerry and even regular visitors like the �weather man� carried on their daily patrols without successful interruption by our fighters. But such a period of bad luck must cease eventually and it seemed for a moment on January 15th that the elusive Jerry weather man would at last receive his just deserts. A patrolling Mosquito made contact and pursued him for ten minutes, but unfortunately no action resulted and the weather man lived to reconnoiter again. A week later FS B. M. Haight and Sgt. T. Kippling opened fire on a Do. 217 at 9,000 ft. and saw strikes from three bursts on the port engine of the Hun. The Dornier was lost to sight in the clouds but its destruction was confirmed by the Royal Observer Corps who saw it crash into the sea near Hartlepool. On

Served with No. 410 (NF) Squadron, RCAF at Hunsdon, UK. Destroyed three Dornier bombers on a single sortie in December 1943. Pilot R. Schultz and observer V. Williams both received DFCs.

From The RCAF Overseas, Volume 1: The First Four Years

Despite the uniformly bad weather at the end of 1942 and the beginning of 1943, there were many operational sorties. However, there were few contacts with Jerry and even regular visitors like the �weather man� carried on their daily patrols without successful interruption by our fighters. But such a period of bad luck must cease eventually and it seemed for a moment on January 15th that the elusive Jerry weather man would at last receive his just deserts. A patrolling Mosquito made contact and pursued him for ten minutes, but unfortunately no action resulted and the weather man lived to reconnoiter again. A week later FS B. M. Haight and Sgt. T. Kippling opened fire on a Do. 217 at 9,000 ft. and saw strikes from three bursts on the port engine of the Hun. The Dornier was lost to sight in the clouds but its destruction was confirmed by the Royal Observer Corps who saw it crash into the sea near Hartlepool. On

Served with No. 410 (NF) Squadron, RCAF at Hunsdon, UK. Destroyed three Dornier bombers on a single sortie in December 1943. Pilot R. Schultz and observer V. Williams both received DFCs.

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.

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.

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.

Stored with several MU's from 1945 to 1954. Eventually sold for scrap 16 Oct 1954.
NOTE: The Mosquito displayed at Alberta Aviation Museum in Edmonton is actually B.Mk. 35 VP189, in the markings of HR147 and with the solid nose and armament of the FB.Mk. VI.rd 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.
