Night fighter NF Mk11 Mosquito 157 Squadron
 

Hello all,

I just discovered this website, and as it looked like my kind of place, thought I would join up!

If I may, I would like to request some help in finding information/photos of NF MK11 Mosquito night fighters of 157 Squadron. I have some profiles of the all black aircraft, but would like to see views of her wings, both top and beneath, just to check the type of Roundals used; I believe on this type there were none beneath the wings. Also, any views of the wings tips, as I want to get a good look at the aerials.

Any information/websites/books that you could recommend would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you and Happy New Year to all.

The top wing roundels were blue and red. Checking some pics, there seems to be none on the lower wing.

A book with lots of pics (modelling orientation)

A pic of some 157 Mossie IIs at Hunsdon has some with dark green and medium sea grey. (RS-H, HJ911 and RS-N, DD641)

Some other books with some pics that might help is:

Thanks for the help, Kutscha. I didn't think there were RAF Roundels on the wing undersides, so thanks for confirming this.
