If only we could get NF.XXX WITH the radar :)

But I will accept one even without it. The 370 mph at 20kft of the VI is that that bad, but most common AH planes are already doing 400+ at that alt. On the other hand, VI is superior down in the weeds.

Mosquito VI - twice the spitfire, four times the ENY.

Bear in mind the lower speed numbers (407 is "lower"?) for the XXX are for aircraft fitted with the flame dampers. Same debate we had with the VI.

Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose, mome.

... 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

Was the speed testing of the NF variant with or without the radar antennae fitted?

It didn't have external antennae on the nose like a German nightfighter, but rather had a "bullnose" that housed the radar gear.  It did have some avionics on the flanks though.

I believe all testing was with all avionics installed.

I see no reason that variant should be excluded.

Mills Lane would allow it.
