One of only 4 aircraft which at that time constituted the Mosquito Aircraft Museum as it was originally known, now the De Havilland Aircraft Museum. The others were the Mosquito Prototype W4050, Mosquito TT.35 TA634/G-AWJV and Vampire T.11 XD452. Arrived by road from Debden (as 7443M) in January 1968. Repainted in its original 23 Squadron colours. Current in store with the Museum in 2020. See my other shots for pictures of it as the Debden Gate Guardian.
