From memory, the Mosquito is doing a low pass at Seletar.
I thought it might be the Far East, Malayan emergency I guess.

I've got the pic in at least three 'Mossie' books, so I'll check it out and see what info is given. I think it was possibly a 'farewell' flight, when the Mosquito was retiring, so possibly after the Malayan emergency.

What I've found so far (haven't checked the other books yet) is that the Mosquito is RG177, a PR34A of 81 Sqn, flown by Flt. Sgt. Anderson, at Seletar in May 1953.

VF-15 F6F-3 on the flight deck of Hornet (CV-12), the section of fuselage located behind the cockpit buckled after a very hard landing on board the carrier on January 22, 1944.

Looks like they've over-painted a June-September '43 style insignia (red outline style) on the fuselage...

Pity they can't overpaint that creased fuselage - "Damage? What damage Sir? Looks good as new to me."

Pilot looks like he's checking his shorts to make sure everything is okay before deplaning.
