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.

Cripes! Amazing the thing flew at all! Figure a hole that big with all that air pressure on it at speed...amazing.
 
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.
 
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
