LOL Sorry Steve, my fat fingers and a smart phone.... I did mean PF
I used to be dyslexic but I'm KO now :laughing:
Tony; I think that we really need to establish a time line.
Your Dad served from Jan 1946 to Mar 1948 and the 14 Sqn site says that they changed from Mk B16's to Mk B35's in dec 1947
The decal sheet from Freight Dog show the rather nice Speed Silver Mossie Mk B35 and states that it was an aircraft at Mahn in 1949. So that was after your Dad was there.
The decal sheet from Aero Master shows an aircraft from the correct squadron but also from 1949 and based at Celle. Also a B35.
If the photo you posted was of the time your father was there, I think that we can conclude that you need a mosquito but for the period he was there it could of been one of three Mk. the FB VI, the B XVI or the B35!
Reading the differences in the mk's could maybe help whittle it down to a single mark, but that must be one for the experts.
Alas I must say that Wiki is not the most reliable source as any one can write on there and things often get through with out verification so be careful with that. I use it myself but I always try to find another source to check things are as they say.
Mk XVI or B 35?
B.XVI Bomber. Pressure cabin development of the B.IX[/url] with Merlin 72, 73, 76 and 77 engines able to carry 3000lb bombs. All were converted in 1944 to take 4000lb bomb in the fuselage and two 50 gallon wing drop tanks or 100 gallon drop tanks with four 500lb bombs.
B.35 Bomber.
Similar to the B.XVI except for Merlin 114 engines in early versions, Merlin 114A engines in later versions. 274 built, including 65 by Airspeed Ltd.
Now we have those facts we now need some one to come and fill out the finer detail.
As a start, based on the photo you posted, you need a camouflage of Dark Green and Ocean Grey with bottom surfaces in Medium Sea Grey Codes on Yellow with black edges.
As a side note I now have a desire to do that Silver one. Looks Rather nice to me.
