The ultimate in high-performance action! Mosquito Squadron includes a highly detailed, visually accurate Mosquito FB. Mk VI, complete with custom instrument panels, gauges, flight model and sounds. You’ll also find authentic scenery of RAF Methwold and the village of Methwold itself. Flying the Mosquito in Flight Simulator is an incredible experience and an ex-RAF crew member who took a spin in the FS2002 cockpit described it as "…amazing. It made me feel twenty again!" The real Mosquito excelled in combat and the one in Mosquito Squadron is no exception. CFS2 pilots will find 21 historically accurate missions, including train busting, low-level attacks and even the famous Operation JERICHO, where Mosquitoes attacked Amiens prison to free allied prisoners.

When the men from the Air Ministry went to a demonstration flight of the de Havilland D.H.98 prototype in late 1940, they were amazed to see a twin-engined aircraft that could outperform almost all the RAF’s front line fighters. It could climb to over 35,000 feet and its top speed was approaching 400mph. What’s more, as much of the airframe was made of wood, it didn’t rely on large amounts of hard-to-find steel or aluminium. They weren’t long in placing an order for what was to become one of Britain’s most successful aircraft - the de Havilland Mosquito. It went on to excel as a fighter, bomber and reconnaissance aircraft in almost every theatre of war and didn’t go out of service until 1961.

Now you can experience one of the most thrilling machines that ever took to the skies in this fantastic expansion for Flight Simulator 2000/2002 and Combat Flight Simulator 2.

Get down to dispersal now and take a trip in the Wooden Wonder!

Hit by flak, McRitchie, badly wounded crash landed TS-B and survived as a POW. Sampson did not survive.

Mosquito FB. Mk XVIII ‘Tsetse’ - ‘O’ NT225 of 248 Squadron RAF 1945 the ground attack and anti-shipping fighter-bomber developed from FB Mk VI. A Molins 6-pounder 57mm cannon firing 25 rounds carried and 4 x .303 machine guns made up the armament.

MOSQUITO SPECIAL OPS - UPGRADE PACK A
INCLUDES FOUR MODEL TYPES AND FOUR LIVERIES, AS WELL AS TWO NEW LIVERIES FOR THE BASE PACK AND THREE NEW LIVERIES AND THREE NEW LIVERIES FOR UPGRADE PACK B.

B. Mk IV Bulged bomb bay
‘AZ-X’ DZ637 Series II of Number 627 Squadron, No5 group, flown by Fg Off Ronnie F Pate and Flt Lt Edward A Jackson, Woodhall Spa , 3rd July 1944. A special bulged bomb bay was added to these aircraft to enable them to carry a ‘Cookie’ 4,000lb bomb. AZ-X participated in the famous raid on Gestapo headquarters in Oslo which was a typical example of the prowess of the Mosquito in low-level pin-point bombing raids.

BOAC Unarmed high speed courier
G-AGFV High speed courier aircraft operated by British Overseas Airways (BOAC) and adapted to carry one passenger in an extremely compact  compartment in the bomb bay on high speed envoy missions. The BOAC markings were a pale attempt at trying to convey to the enemy that the aircraft was unarmed. The Mosquito’s enviable high speed performance was a very handy defence.

B. Mk IV Highball
DK290/G A&AEE, Boscombe Down April 1943 was a one-off conversion for testing of Barnes Wallis’ spinning bomb theory by A&AEE. Highballs were to be used by 618 Squadron in a secretly planned attack on the German Battleship, Tirpitz. However supplies of the aircraft arrived too late and the attack was shelved. 617 Squadron Lancaster’s eventually completed the task of sinking the famous battleship, ironically with Mosquito Pathfinders in attendance

B. Mk XVI Bulged bomb bay - Perspex nose
‘P3-D’ ML942 of number 692 Squadron, No8 group (PFF) RAF, Gravely, March 1944.

PR. Mk XVI
‘S’ N5591 25th BG, Photo-reconnaissance, 8th USAAF 1944. Many international forces used the Mosquito. The USAAF deployed Mosquitoes in photo-reconnaissance roles. This example flew with the 25th Bomber Group of the ‘Mighty 8th’.

Mk 30 Radar
‘K’ 1 Swedish Air Force with Perspex nose. The Mk30 Night Fighter variant had a radar array fitted in the nose. The array was serviced by opening side hatches and the nose cone. Some examples were produced with a clear Perspex dome over the array. Mosquitoes were formidable night fighters, aided by surprisingly effective (though primitive by today’s standards) radar equipment. The version depicted is a Swedish machine, now preserved in a museum.

INCLUDES FOUR MODEL TYPES AND FOUR LIVERIES AS WELL AS TWO NEW LIVERIES FOR THE BASE PACK AND ONE NEW MODEL FOR UPGRADE PACK A.

Mosquitoes were formidable night fighters, aided by surprisingly effective (though primitive by today’s standards) radar equipment.

NF. Mk II (’bow and arrow’ radar)
‘TW-Z DZ601′ of 141 Squadron RAF from February 1944 when this machine destroyed a Heinkel HE 177. The Mk II retained the machine guns and cannon in the nose, adding a ‘bow and arrow’ array. The radar equipment was also far simpler than the later NF. Mk 30.

TR. 33
‘CW 413′ TW270 Royal Navy. A standard FB. Mk VI that had strengthened sides and a tail hook along with smaller wheels, stiffened suspension and a radar thimble dome added to the nose.
