Larry, I had the same question. Why send UK-based Mosquitoes to Croatia ?

I wonder if it was ordered at high level or decided at Squadron level, the idea of the level being to go where "game was to be found". Some days before, crews of 605 Sqn flew other Day Rangers to Vienna (on the 7th) and to the Baltic (on the 2nd). I wonder also if with most of the Luftwaffe back in Germany the usual area for Day Ranger (Denmark, Baltic) was not becoming too dangerous and Mosquitoes went to other areas for this reason. It seems to me that Day Rangers stopped after October 1944, maybe 605 Sqn crews try to score as most as possible before they were ordered to stop these operations ?
