EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the final operational flight of a de Havilland DH-98 Mosquito PR-34A of 81 Squadron Royal Air Force (RAF), as it taxis at Seletar Airbase in Singapore on the date of 1955. The Mosquito, a versatile and iconic aircraft of the Second World War, is seen here in its photo-reconnaissance role, with Flying Officers J Knox (pilot, right) and B Thompson (navigator, left) on board. The DH-98 Mosquito was a multi-role combat aircraft, renowned for its sleek design, wooden construction, and impressive performance. Powered by two Rolls-Royce Merlin piston engines, this agile aircraft served in various capacities during the war, including as a fighter, bomber, and photo-reconnaissance platform. Operation Firedog was the codename for a series of RAF operations against Indonesian nationalist forces following Indonesia's declaration of independence from the Netherlands in 1945. This photograph marks the end of the Mosquito's involvement in these hostilities, as the RAF transitioned to jet-powered aircraft for its post-war operations. The image showcases the camouflaged Mosquito, with its distinctive propellers and wingtips, parked behind the date of 1955. The scene is reminiscent of the 1940s, a time when the RAF played a crucial role in defending the United Kingdom and its allies during the tumultuous years of the Second World War.
