Wow such a shame that this happened in such a manner.

If only springs to mind, when you listen to the timeline of events. ]]> MAL207 http://forums.diecast-aviation.eu/entry.php?10-B-17-9-oh-9-Crash Airfix 1/24 De Haviland Mosquito FB VI http://forums.diecast-aviation.eu/entry.php?9-Airfix-1-24-De-Haviland-Mosquito-FB-VI Sun, 07 Apr 2019 15:17:22 GMT

Sorry for the very belated response, DCR...but I finally had it confirmed today that the mysterious 'Yellow Dot' is a 'gas patch', the same as the one on the pilots' armour in a Lancaster ( this from Ian Thirsk )......:unsure:

Ah, thanks Martin. Still seems to be a curious place to put it but presume there is some logic to it.

Just bought De Havilland Mosquito: An Illustrated History: volumes 1 and 2. Thanks. :) ]]> DCRanger http://forums.diecast-aviation.eu/entry.php?9-Airfix-1-24-De-Haviland-Mosquito-FB-VI Aircraft Names http://forums.diecast-aviation.eu/entry.php?8-Aircraft-Names Thu, 27 Dec 2018 11:48:41 GMT
