1 PRU Mosquito of S/L Alistair Lennox Taylor, DFC**
 

Please, could some expert inform me the Serial number and codes of the PR Mosquito Mark I flown by S/L Taylor, DFC** on his last mission?
I also would like to know the RAF Service Number of his Navigator, Sergeant Horsfall, if possible.
Thanks in advance
