No, it is not a stall horn, but I also don't recall what it is.

Thanks for posting that, hadn't seen the test pilot one before.

The aircraft in the factory pics, HJ728, eventually went to 23 Sqn while the latter were in the Med, amazingly shows up in a later shot after a belly-landing. (First part of the serial is hard to see, but the Operations Record Book has HJ728 showing up on the squadron around this time):



IIRC there's an alarm in the flying Mossie that goes off it it gets below a certain speed without the undercarriage being down, but that's going from memory...

The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

If any of you recall the old animation by "Tochy", it's amazing how accurate he was...

   Great link Milo! :aok


  I cant be 100% sure but pic 153 might show my uncle!!!!


  IIRC,I was young but he told me he attached the wings to fuselage,I laughed when he told me they used hand saws doing this!

   There's a pic from downsview that shows most of the workers but it's too far away for me to get a good look.


    Thanks for the link!
