Hello,
Have not IIRC seen this picture before .
So have looked on The Mosquito Page Production lists as I think I saw either "TZ, "T7" or "37" letters/numbers on the piece of tail section.
So,
TZ = Not Mosquito.
T7 = Could be MT, NT or VT. But MT was all NF.30's. NT did not reach the 700's .VT was post WW2.
So started to look at VI's which beguin with DZ.
So DZ37?
370 - 139 sqn, Missing Hamburg 7.4.44.
371 - 139 sqn, Hit by flak and crashed in sea returning from Eindhoven 6.12.42.
372 - 105 sqn, Crashed on landing Marham 2.3.43.
373 - 139 sqn, Missing Liege 13.3.43.
374 - 139 sqn, Missing Duisburg 30.8.43.
375 - 192 sqn, Missing on SD flight over Bay of Biscay 11.9.43.
376 - 192 sqn, SoC10.10.46.
377 - 192 sqn, Hit Halifax after landing, Foulsham 28.4.44.
378 - 105 sqn, Damaged,20.2.43 To 3509M.
379 - 139 sqn, Missing Berlin 18.8.43.

So two possibles, DZ371 and DZ375.

Have looked no further, but :

HK370/379 were NF.XIII's.

LR370/9 were FB.VI's.
LR37O - 613 sqn, Ditched 20m W of Guernsey on return from Sortosville-en-Beaumont, 19.5.44. A third possible.

MM370/1 were PR.XVI's.

PF379 was PR.XVI.

PZ371/9 were FB.VI's.
PZ371 - 305 sqn, Missing 28.3.45.
PZ374 - 305 sqn, Missing from night intruder 26.2.45.

TA370/9 were FB.VI's.
TA370 - 613 sqn, Missing on sweep 15.4.45.
TA372 - 464 sqn, Missing from intruder mission 24.4.45.
TA378 - 305 sqn ?

My thoughts are that maybe the 1945 losses are too late ?

There were many others that are just noted as NFD or NFT, No Further data/Trace.

Good Hunting,
Alex
