Re: Shot Down Mosquito in Harbor

Hi Kaki and Alex,

It's a fighter variant of the Mossie, equiped with auxiliary tanks. An FB.VI may be the most likely variant, perhaps even the rare FB.XVIII.

It appears to me that this one may have made a belly landing on land instead of a ditch on water. In the latter case I should think the auxiliary tanks would have ripped of and also more of the engine nacelle plating.

Regards,
Hans
