Great find Paul. I'd told Jamie I'd once seen a pic of a Mossie BIV, possibly being used by 617, but couldn't find anything else. Good to know I'm not the only one 'in the dark'!!

In spite of my previous post, I knew that Cheshire's FB VI was actually coded N is questionable.

great find mate ty .if we assume that the second pic is NT202 then it has no fairings on the exhausts at least thats how it looks to me what do you guys think

 

[Wayne Little]

Real nice kit Jamie! Good to see you in the build...

 

[Airframes]

Yep, it doesn't have the exhaust shrouds.

my camera is playing up today so only 1 photo has come out lol will need to fix the camera and get some more .the 1 that has turned out is the instrument panel resting against the navigators seat so here it is (Eduard can make even me look reasonable)
