Re: Mosquito MkXVIII Tsetse

248 Sqn (not 248th Sqn) was essentially a fighter sqn and Tsetses were attached to 248 known as 248 SD. If carrying a massive gun and if payload allowed, the recoil would surely shake any bombs off. Des Curtis' book would confirm this one way or the other. 618 Sqn became designated as a Highball squadron later in 1944. One minor correction-I presume you refer to the F540 Operations Record Book (ORB) rather than a log?
