| Mosquito hitting by a 30 mmm round Hi there, i am searching for a picture of a specific Mosquito which returned to its airbase with some serious damgage by a 30 mm round of a ME262. I think it was a 262, but can' t remember it clearly. I only need a example of the damage done by a 30 mmm hit. A B-17 or something else would also be OK. Thanks in advance. |

| Amazing, but Mosquito was made of wood mostly and damages to the structure look a little different. Here is an effect of air bottle explosion inside of the Mosquito fuselage. Source unknown.

 | Hmmm, probably is concentrated fire of 30mm, the 88 would cut the fuselage in a half. Impressive pictures I might ad. Nice video there Matt. Last edited by CharlesBronson; 07-04-2008 at 09:05 PM. |

| 1 hit from an HE-I 3cm round would do the same. ~ I have interviews of Me 262 NF pilots shooting down Mossies and literally the wooden craft just vapourized in nearly every case, no fires just an explosion

| Probably so, this is the MK 108 explosive round effect of a test Bristol Blenheim. [IMG]  [/IMG] Last edited by CharlesBronson; 07-04-2008 at 09:05 PM. |
