Re: Mosquito TR33

Googling turns up another photo recently sold on an auction site.
another is at an air show with LR387 captioned as one of two prototype Sea Mosquito's (hence the folding wings) ASV radar and arrestor hook.
LR359 (the other prototype) with an A-frame deck-landing hook, reinforced fuselage, increased power and four-bladed propellers but with fixed wings was the first Mosquito (and twin engined aircraft) to deck-land on HMS Indefatigable on 25/03/44.
