No. 75 Squadron Mosquitoes also sank the barque Lutterworth in Cook Strait. There is great footage of the sinking.

Quite surprising to me is that the Banff air base where the Mosquitos operated from is still intact, runways and hardstandings all still there.

I wish I did. I watched it at the museum in Blenheim on their big screen once. They had cameras in the aircraft.

I remember the KA114 shirts had the camo scheme, this design reflects the scheme (and armament) of PZ474...
