Suggested Mosquito lineup for Aces High

Thanks for the picture.  I'd love to see an FB.Mk XVIII too, but I don't think it'll happen.


I actually had a dream about the Mossie in AH yesterday.  I dreamed the new version was released and the Mossie had some changes, its CoG bug was fixed, the flame dampers were gone and it topped out at 344mph at sea level, the graphic was slightly updated to show the exhaust stubsl.  I hadn't tested the climb yet to see if it hit the 3,800fpm claimed by the RAF.  It did still catch fire really easily though.

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

The Banff and Dalachy Strike wings used the services of 315 Squadron RAF (Polish) Mustang IIIs from November 1944. Based at Peterhead, another local airfield, they used drop tanks and carried out long range escort duty to Norway.

I've always been lucky enough to have lived a few miles from some historic airbases, such as Banff and Dallachy as well as Lossiemouth (from where the Damnbusters flew their Tirpitz missions), Dyce where a Ju88 night fighter crew defected with the lichtenstein radar (a famous incident) and earlier Drem and Turnhouse from where Spitfires from both bases were responsible for bringing the first German aircraft down over British soil in WWII in 1939.
