Re: 418 Squadron RCAF - Mosquito HJ822 lost on 25 JUL-1943
I'm sure you meant to say HJ822 (a Mosquito Mk FB VI)!
By your user name I'm sure you know 418 (City of Edmonton) RCAF was a Fighter Sqn based at RAF Ford and was carrying out night intruder ops and at the time of its loss was carrying out an operation to Twente.
I know that 418 was the first such Sqn to receive Mk FB VI in May 1943 and was carrying out night intruder support for Bomber Command at this time.
Its likely that HJ822 was one of the first batch of Mk VI delivered to the Sqn and I wonder if there is a photo of a line up of these aircraft including HJ822 in Canadian archives, which are on the web and free to access. Sadly I cannot find any TH codes Mosquitos in my files for this time.
