History[]

Built as a B35 at Hatfield under contract number 555/C.23 (a) and fitted with Merlin 113/114 engines. It was delivered some time between 29th March 1945 and 16th July 1945.

Converted to TT35 standard in 1951, it served with No1 CAACU and No3 CAACU when Mirisch purchased Mosquitos for the film 633 Squadron. Unfortunately this aircraft was written off during filming as one of three aircraft[N 2] used for crash scenes. It was struck off charge and scrapped on 31st May 1963.[2]
