Re: Mosquito Mk.VI 'UP-B' and 'UP-T'
Is there a particular period you are researching, as with losses there may have been several aircraft with B and T as the individual code?

Hi Larry!
I am interested in 10th - 12th October 1944 period when this aeroplanes were in 605. squadron. This aeroplane might have been lost in March 1945. Last edited by markojeras; 21st March 2018 at 13:18. |

I place my bet on PZ343 (UP-B, lost on 17. March 1945.), that might be the one I look for.
Anyone can help me to see loss report? If this is the same plane, it was damaged on 11. October 1944. Could this damage report be found? |

Re: Mosquito Mk.VI 'UP-B' and 'UP-T'
Dear Marko,
PZ343 has UP-B stated as its code according to the book RAF Fighter Command Losses of Second World War-1945, by Norman Franks. The crew members were W/C RA Mitchell DFC and F/Lt H Hatsell DFC and both were killed ion a night intruder mission over Germany. I guess the loss report is in The National Archives (TNA) in Kew, London. I have not seen any photos of it (yet)! Larry
