Night fighter NF Mk11 Mosquito 157 Squadron
Hello all,
I just discovered this website, and as it looked like my kind of place, thought I would join up! If I may, I would like to request some help in finding information/photos of NF MK11 Mosquito night fighters of 157 Squadron. I have some profiles of the all black aircraft, but would like to see views of her wings, both top and beneath, just to check the type of Roundals used; I believe on this type there were none beneath the wings. Also, any views of the wings tips, as I want to get a good look at the aerials. Any information/websites/books that you could recommend would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and Happy New Year to all. Pathfinder |

Re: Night fighter NF Mk11 Mosquito 157 Squadron
The top wing roundels were blue and red. Checking some pics, there seems to be none on the lower wing.
A book with lots of pics (modelling orientation) Mosquito Classic Aircraft #7 Boyer/Philpott ISBN 0-85059-432-4 pub 1980 A pic of some 157 Mossie IIs at Hunsdon has some with dark green and medium sea grey. (RS-H, HJ911 and RS-N, DD641) Some other books with some pics that might help is: Mosquito Sqds of the RAF Chaz Bowyer ISBN 0-7110-1425-6 Osprey Combat a/c #9 which has some drawings at 1/96 scale ISBN 1-85532-731-7 |

Thanks for the help, Kutscha. I didn't think there were RAF Roundels on the wing undersides, so thanks for confirming this.
