Sorry, Ta ! Carl gue... sorry, got it right first ! Five flew, another three were tragically intentionally destroyed.

BTW, the 'Tsetse' was the legendary Mosquito FB Mk XVIII armed with a quick-firing 57mm ( 6-pounder ) adapted anti-tank gun and used for shipping strikes.

At the Mosquito Museum, we have a complete gun assembly on display with its' complicated automatic loading mechanism.

Oh - and I like 'The Purple Plain' very much. Not really a 'war' movie as such, it has a very good performance from Gregory Peck and some nice location shots of Mosquitoes flying out of Seletar, Malaysia.

Over to you, Carl.... [img]smile.gif[/img]
