Mosquito Mk.VI 'UP-B' and 'UP-T'
 

Hello!

Please, I need help to find photos of two Mosquitos Mk.VI of 605.Sq.
UP-B and UP-T, and their factory serial markings.

Thank you!

Is there a particular period you are researching, as with losses there may have been several aircraft with B and T as the individual code?

Hi Larry!

I am interested in 10th - 12th October 1944 period when this aeroplanes were in 605. squadron.

This aeroplane might have been lost in March 1945.

I place my bet on PZ343 (UP-B, lost on 17. March 1945.), that might be the one I look for.

Anyone can help me to see loss report? If this is the same plane, it was damaged on 11. October 1944. Could this damage report be found?

Dear Marko,

PZ343 has UP-B stated as its code according to the book RAF Fighter Command Losses of Second World War-1945, by Norman Franks.

The crew members were W/C RA Mitchell DFC and F/Lt H Hatsell DFC and both were killed ion a night intruder mission over Germany.

I guess the loss report is in The National Archives (TNA) in Kew, London.

I have not seen any photos of it (yet)!
