Sorry it's been a while since I spammed the thread with assorted Mossie pics.
Couple interesting ones here, both with the ejector exhausts.
This is one of the RAAF's No.1 (Attack) Squadron's Mossies, taken out in the Far East around March or April 1945. There's some debate over where the pic was taken, either Labuan or, interestingly, Clark Field in the Philippines, where the aircraft seems to have been dispatched for comparative trials. No, I've not found any trace of the actual trials themselves. One of the details which supports the Clark Field theory is that feathered port propellor - the aircraft suffered an engine failure while up there.
This one started life as HR336, built in the U.K. and then transferred out to Australia.
This next one was taken in Patricia Bay, on Canada's west coast, (I believe it's now Victoria airport) where some Canadian-built fighter-bomber Mossies (such as KA133, pictured here) were retained to combat the threat of Japanese fire balloons. There were a number of scrambles, but no shoot-downs so far as I know. Apparently the nose marking is in red, according to Ian Thirsk's book.
I believe Bob Jen's B.35 restoration project is now, coincidentally, out in Pat Bay itself, as part of the program to return it to the air.
