It's a darned good thing that Air Chief Marshal Sir Wilfred Freeman kept hitting Harris over the head with the DH-98 until Harris gave in and agreed to 'try' the unwanted, unarmed, uneverything MOSSIE. :supz:

Wow, That is an awesome film! I would buy it if it ever becomes available. Wasn't there a similar raid in France using Mosquitos?
