Good shots!

Except that it clearly wasn't wearing an overall PRU Blue scheme. Other shots show upper surface camouflage comprising a light grey tone and probably Dark Green, with undersurfaces probably in PRU Blue.

Photo in the link below shows that propellers were damaged on landing on the beach.
Later photos show her in Luftwaffe markings T9+XB without propellers at a September 1943 Captured Air show. A new pair of propellers were still to be acquired from other downed Mosquitoes.
Aircraft definitely shows a camouflaged uper surface and red and blue fuselage roundels before being repainted in Luftwaffe colours.
Of interest, somewhere I remember seeing an aerial reconacance photo of a German airfield that shows the Mosquito and Beaufighter side by side by a hanger and a B17 on the grass some distance away from the hanger.

That LEMB link isn't going to work for most people here. I forgot my old login name and PW and can't get in anymore.

Sorry about that, I thought that as I was signed in on the LEMB that members who viewed my link would be able to see it ?

No that is not possible. Over on torch there is a good discussion with more recent material.

Here hopefully is the Mosquito with the Stirling.
The "XB" can be clearly seen on the Mossie while the Stirling has the numbers.
