Summary

[edit]
Description

Built 1945. Served with 98sqn coded ‘VO-L’ between October 1950 and February 1951, when the unit converted to Vampire FB5s. Converted to TT35 standard as a target tug in 1953. Allocated to 5 CAACU based at Llanbedr and remained with the unit until January 1958 when it moved to RAF Woodvale. It then flew for all the based units including the THUM flight. In April 1959 it performed the last THUM Mosquito flight, it was then withdrawn from use and allocated as a museum airframe with the Air Historical Branch. Between 1967 and 1975 it was at RAF Colerne, then moving to Finningley and later Swinderby. In 1986 it moved to St Athan while its final move was to Hendon in 1992 for permanent display. Since 2003 it has been on display in the Milestone of Flight Hall, RAF Museum, Hendon, London, UK.
