Yes indeed. It's the tail wheel "mudguard", in this instance on the prototype Mosquito at the DH Museum, Salisbury Hall.
Well done.

I was a bit lucky with that guess, as I have seen the tail of the Mosquito from about the same angle at CH2A in Windsor a few years ago.

I have not done this before, so please let me know if I have screwed up.

There is an incredible story about an american ( moved to Berlin as a kid ) who flew in WW 2 the Me 162 for the germans...and got wounded into his leg from a P-51 bullet in combat.

I'm sure they meant He162.

There was a Bf162, however.

V- tail, not a Bonanza, Photo taken at a GA field. It's the Cirrus Jet. (Although I'm surprised the tail isn't composite.) It's not a Fouga because it's missing the control horns. That kills the V-tail inventory.
