Peter thank you, I was a "Brat" at Halton & scrounged flight in the Mosquito's & Balliols (also Chipmunks for ATC air experience flights with same pilots) & am trying to fill in types & serial number gaps whilst writing my memoirs to bore the kids with, thanks B Rgds, Paul H.

Thanks for the replies, strangely for my sins I worked for the GA company Central Stores in the early 90's & occupied the huts & offices that were used by the Air Experience Flight & the Mosquito crews, small world, further to above have only logged the two Halton Mosquitos as: B35, PF484 -6595M & 6659M (don't know the original serial of this airframe though). Appreciate your replies & the information, b Rgds, Paul H, Bicester.
