Country:  | Guy Gibson's Mosquito
I am trying to find pictures of the mosquito that Guy Gibson was flying before his crash, have done a model of the Lanc he flew and think a model of the mossy would complete my little Gibson collection.
What i know at the moment is it was a Mk XX, Reg KB267 AZ - E and that he flew with 627 squadron.
Can anyone shed a bit more light please. |

Country: | Cheers Mosquitoman, looking at the piece put against the other Mosquito it pretty much a match in colour scheme. | |

Country: | Was thinking the other day if it was part of the pathfinders then it would have had a black underside not grey, anybody know for sure. | |
