Mosquito: Drum
Originally uploaded by seansonofbig2 On the night of 25/9/44, a Mosquito from 60OTU flew into the ridge of Mt. Drum. The photo shows one of a number of fair-sized bits left in a grassy gully there. Not sure what this is, though it was found close to the remains of a prop. (We have since been advised by Alan of PDAAR that it is a gearbox which steps up the engine revs to feed the supercharger)
There is not as much wreckage left as there was in the seventies, according to our correspondent. We were particularly disappointed not to find the cannon which were there in '71.
Location: SH 71621 69138
