Gerhard Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Hi Guys, is this a fictional aircraft in the Airfix kit? I cant find any info on it online De Havilland Mosquito FB.VI No. 143 Squadron, Banff Strike Wing, Coastal Command, 1945. NE A with serial HR 405.

PhilB Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) It's a genuine aircraft and Airfix are very good with their research. 143 Squadron were posted to Banff on the 23rd October 1944 where they converted to the Mosquito VI until 25th May 1945 when they were disbanded. If you google "143 Squadron RAF" and look at the images, there are a couple of pictures of NE A although not too good but the code HR 405 is just visible. The RAF museum will sell you a print of a photo of it in flight and I would trust them too ! So I think you are on very safe ground.
