On display in the World War II Gallery at NMUSAF. The USAAF operated the Mosquito as a photographic and weather reconnaissance aircraft, nightfighter and for Red Stocking intelligence gathering missions. This Mosquito with a red tail is painted to represent a PR.XVI of the 653rd BS based in England in 1944-45 that conducted Blue Stocking weather recce missions. Built in 1946 and taken on charge by the RAF with s/n RS709, it was converted to a TT.35 by 1959, going to No. 3 Civil AA Cooperation Unit. In 1963 it got a civil Regn and featured in the movies 633 Squadron and Mosquito Squadron.

Painted as a USAAF aircraft, this Mosquito was originally RS709 with the RAF from 1946 to 1963. In civilian life it became successively G-ASKA, N9797 and G-MOSI before joining the NMUSAF in 1984.

This Mosquito is in reality RS709, a B.Mk. 35, but has been restored to a USAAF Mk. XVI configuration and given the fake aerial NS519, a weather reconnaissance aircraft of the 653rd BS based in England in 1944-1945. This Mosquito was also formerly G-ASKA, N9797 and G-MOSI.
