I do have a couple of pictures of "their" pilot. I know you would
find them perfect, Spi. One with a pipe and a grin, very dashing.
The other in the cockpit. I don't feel able to put them up here. I
have no idea who he was or what happened to him.
Awesome warplane the DeHavilland Mosquito. Unusually made of wood,
it was one of the fastest aircraft of its time, a supremely
effective tactical bomber. 2xRR Merlin 1500hp engines, must have
been a blast to fly!
I've always loved the DeHavilland Vampire, BTW. Mad looking thing!
Daa da da da dadadada daa da da da dadadadah do do do do doo-do da
da dadada pom pom pom.
Tried to upload the theme from 633 Sqn but in the end this was the
best I could do!
Must have been a bit of lottery joining the Fleet Air Arm in those
days; a sexy gofaster fighter bomber Mossie or go up against the
pride of the German fleet in a Swordfish. Which one is better? Only
one way to find out.....
Vampire's are nice. My favs are the Vulcan bomber, Mossie,
Sunderland and the old Typhoon; not as elegant as a Spit but
there's something about that huge air intake...

Alan - no, don't put them up here - it doesn't feel right. I've got them in my head already...

This lot also had Barracudas for a while. Not sure of the timing. Not such a handsome aircraft though.
