Pathfinder Mosquito Mk.IV dig...

Since the board has gone unusually quiet, I thought I would ask about the wreckage of a Mk.IV Mosquito which was dug up by an RAF team towards the end of last year near Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire. An old RAF friend told me about having been involved with it, but since he's a bit busy right now, I wondered if anyone else had any information. Apparently it was a Pathfinder force Mk.IV mosquito, and substantial remains were recovered from a drainage ditch for the Pathfinder museum. The remains included engines, props main wheels, and tail gear, plus lots of other ancillaries.... anyone know more about this, or for that matter the Pathfinder museum?

Also, Elliot, any chance of an update on what's happening with the Whitley project, pictures etc? Love to hear what's going on on your very worthwhile project.

Cheers for now. Richard
