Highball Mosquitos
Hi,
Does anyone have details of the Highball Mosquitos? I am thinking of converting a FBVI into a Highball machine and need some details on the actual attachment points for the highball. I assume the rest was a standard FBVI. Thanks, Alex

Re: Highball Mosquitos
I'm not sure of the attachment, but believe them to be a V-structure each side of the bomb, with a roller to spin it up. I don't know whether the roller is before or aft of the bomb. Do you have a Dambuster Lanc to use as a possible guide?
However, I understand that the Highball machines were Mk.IVs with 4-blade props, not Mk.VIs. |

Re: Highball Mosquitos
Hi Graham,
Thanks for the details. During my initial search on the 'net I found conflicting details. The prototypes were B MkIV's and production models were FBVI's. I have since found just over 30 serials in the DZ range which indicates B MkIV's. Jerry, Mail arrived okay, many thanks.
