Airfield Clear Fuselage Hatfield Havilland Mosquito Mystery Nose Note Slung Static
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1950s, the de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito B Mk.35 TH988 is seen in a static display at the de Havilland factory airfield at Hatfield. The Mosquito, a legendary aircraft of the Royal Air Force (RAF), is identified by its distinctive curved wings and sleek, streamlined design. Of particular note in this image is the Mosquito's cut-off nose, which features a clear window, allowing for an unobstructed view of the cockpit area. This modification was likely made for observation or targeting purposes, as the Mosquito was used in various roles, including as a fighter, bomber, and reconnaissance aircraft. Another intriguing feature of this Mosquito is the mysterious pod slung under its fuselage. The purpose of this pod is unclear without additional context, adding to the intrigue and allure of this iconic aircraft. The Mosquito was renowned for its advanced design and innovative features, making it a favorite among aviation enthusiasts and military personnel alike. The de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito was a versatile and effective aircraft that served the RAF with distinction during World War II and into the post-war era. This photograph captures a moment in time when the Mosquito was still a relatively new and cutting-edge technology, and serves as a reminder of the important role it played in aviation history.
