Currently showing on the History Channel. The last episode was about the de Havilland Mosquito and included a brief CG reenactment of Operation Jericho, which included aircraft and aircrew from No 487 Squadron RNZAF. Well worth seeing or recording if you get the chance. |

That sounds interesting. I wish they'd put these types of programmes on Prime TV.
What was the mystery attached to the Amiens Raid?

No mystery I think Dave, it was just a 'Special Op' although mention was made of OSI operations with USAAF Mosquitos in the programme. Great footage from the Aimen raid (I believe) showing Mosquitos flying low over the channel and towns on the way to the prison. No wonder they used to come back sometimes with telephone lines wrapped around the tailwheels!!!!

Yeah there really was no great mystery involved, just an overview of the aircraft and how it was used for several notable long range intruder missions.
It looked like the historian who retraced the flight was in a Devon, it certainly didn't look like a Mosquito cockpit, but I could be wrong.
