633 Squadron mosquito

[Alan 45]

I've come down with some bug as of last night so I'm resting and dossing myself up on paracetamol so for information purposes I've decided to watch 633 squadron seeing as I'm building a mossy but what I want to know is what MK of mossy do they use , I've looked on line but I can't find an exact match

Cheers

The fictional 633 sq was made up from converted T35 target tugs which where "converted" to look like FB MkVI 's and a single T3 that got fake machine guns.

So the short reply would be they where supposed to be Mk VI fighter bombers.

Thanks Ian that explains why I couldn't find the actual variant

Good film although very far fetched but I suppose if your going to make a film in honour of the brave pilots who flew these planes you may as well go all out

[Ian M]

Your welcome.

As an aside there is a video on You tube that shows just where Mr. Lucas got the idea for the attack on the death star.... Really funny actually.
