Mosquito MkXVIII Tsetse

[alex crawford]

Hi,

I have been approached by a decal producer to assist in the production of a decal sheet depicting all 17 Tsetse aircraft.

There are a number of well known Tsetse photos that show 3-4 of the aircraft and these appear in my book on the Tsetse. What I am looking for are photos that show most of the other aircraft. I know that this may be difficult owing to the small number of aircraft involved.

The camouflage scheme and roundels used were pretty much standard as was the placement of the codes/letters, but I also need to know what aircraft had shrouded and unshrouded exhausts and whether they had 2 or 4 machine guns.

Serial numbers were: HJ732/G (prototype), HX902/O, HX903/I, HX904/E, MM424/H, MM425/L, NT224/E1, NT225/O, PZ251/I, PZ252/Z1 then QM-C, PZ300/S1 then QM-A, PZ301/T1 then QM-B, PZ346/Z, PZ467, PZ468/Z then QM-D, PZ469, PZ470.

If anyone can help I would be grateful.

Regards,

Alex
