    You're very welcome, I have a mountain of information on air frames and other information, always fun to look this stuff up I have a colored pic of Max Aitken in front of his Mossie, with the yellow spinners, I have also seen them with red spinners.....and yes the Aussie machines do look VERY cool in the silver dope and the SEAC roundels...... I'm glad you found this bit of info of some interest.....

    It also appears this aircraft and crew were involved in the destruction of U 843, April 9, 1945 at Kattegat after repeated rocket and cannon attacks....and may actually have been credited with the sinking, but that I can't confirm just yet...

    This photo appears in my copy of Mosquito Bomber/Fighter-Bomber Units 1942-45 by Martin Bowman ( Osprey Combat Aircraft #4)............... caption reads .... " No. 143 Sqdn's FB VI HR405/NE-A, banks away from Charles Brown's camera off the Scottish coast, exposing it's rocket rails, and underside details to good effect. This aircraft survived the war to eventually be struck of charge in November 1946" The original photo credit to Phil Jarrett. I hope I have been of some help in your quest.. if I come across anything more I will pass it on.... if anyone is interested.....

    Thanks Phil..... I'm not sure I'd go as far as 'genius', more .. enthusiast? And as I am really into Mosquitoes and Spitfires, I have accumulated a little bit of info along the way.... and always very glad to be able to share, and help out... the research is a lot of fun.........

    I believe this could be HR 405, at least it looks like to to me....
  11. Jeff
    This may be of some interest although does speak of 143 Squadron, but not specifically of HR405 or its crew.. http://www.scotshistoryonline.co.uk/sorties.html

    It IS Coded NE*A, that's true but it doesn't look like it is a famous raider of any notoriety, at least in what I have.... so far

    A little more digging and I have this ...she had Merlin 23/25's, built by Standard Motors, delivered in September 1944, not much more, unless you can get to the squadron ORB... best I can do with the info I have...
  14. Jeff
    well I had to go through 4071 airframe datas, to come up with this little bit so far.... Flown by F/O A.V. Randell and R.R. Rawlins of the Banff Strike Wing and was S.O.C. November 23, 1946. I will see if I can find anything operationally if you like..... so far not much out there, nothing listed for 1945
  15. Jeff
    Drifter old chum, can you give a specific date? and what kind of info are you looking for, I just might have it, but a date would be easier for me to dig....

    I think the '9' is one of the coolest and sweetest looking Russian birds, and for some silly reason I have always liked the Petleykov PE2 as well...... I still haven't got the starch to do a resin kit though......................

    Very cool.......... and I guess Qz hasn't a buyer for all the old used and worn out F-18's, no one else wants to buy... oh wait, we here in Canada will pay top dollar for used iron , why buy anything new an advanced like the rest of the world...... consider your old used F18's SOLD..... I saw a shoulder patch on a Sea King pilot's arm not long ago here in Canada it said " Flying Yesterday's Aircraft Tomorrow"............................................ its embarrassing................... no wonder we can't keep pilots............... Australia gets it............. why can't Canada???
