Please check your files - any Mosquito photographs?

[Krztalizer]

Hello to all. I know that a lot of us have run into various aircraft over the
years and I think its likely that some of you have photographs of DH-98
Mosquitos from some time in your past. I am in the process of gathering Mossie
photos for YAMB (Yet Another Mosquito Book) and have collected some 200
hardcopy photographs with extensive captioning. I am full up with RR299 /
T.III dual control trainer photos (that famous airshow performer from the
70s-90s), but we lack nightfighter images (only 9 out of 200). Please consider
loaning me whatever photos you have that show a Mosquito - I will pay postage
both ways and return your originals immediately. Besides, you all know where
to find me. :)

Press photos are fine - all photos will be given credit to the copyright holder
and the person that sends them. Please give me an email offline and I will
make arrangements and many thanks in advance for considering my request.

I have several DeHavilland official magazines and can have a look through
them if you like ?

You'll have to sort out copyright on them though which I'd assume to be
British Aerospace.

Try dropping a line (if you haven't already) to Stuart McKay, secretary
of the the de Havilland Moth Club, at . The late
Gp Capt John Cunningham was the previous president, and Stuart might be
able to put you in contact with other Mosquito crew members.


There's also the de Havilland Aircraft Heritage Centre, incorporating
the Mosquito Aircraft Museum, whose e-mail address is

The museum's URL is http://www.dehavillandmuseum.co.uk/index2.html
