Talking Re: Mosquito or Beaufighter?
Thank you Ross, another little "mistery" solved.
I guess that we have found the remains of "our" Beaufighter, in the area only another one plane crashed during the war, and it was a B-25.
Hope that cleaning the pieces we will found some evidences, like serial or construction numbers.

Sorry friends, made a big mistake. Ignore my latest entry; I reacted before with serial NT907 which is the correct serial. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Regards,
Henk.

Re: Mosquito or Beaufighter?
Did the 272 squadron belong to the Coastal Command?

Friends model makers, have thought about making the model of the Beufighter...
Do you have some photos or the codes for the colors of the model?

In advance we thank

Ciao

Fabio
