EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in aviation history. Featured here is the Mosquito fighter plane registration number RG 314 of the 81st Squadron, stationed at Seletar in Singapore. This particular aircraft holds a significant place in RAF's legacy as it was the last Mosquito to serve in operational service with the Royal Air Force. On December 15,1955, this remarkable machine embarked on its final sortie during Operation Firedog from RAF Seletar. The Mark PR34 Mosquito, piloted by Flying Officer Knox and expertly navigated by Flying Officer Thompson, took to the skies for one last mission before retiring from active duty. The image showcases the sleek design of this iconic aircraft that played a crucial role during British Malaya operations in the 1950s. Its powerful engines and agile maneuverability made it an invaluable asset for reconnaissance missions and ground attacks. As we reflect upon this photograph, we are reminded of the bravery and dedication exhibited by all those who served aboard these magnificent machines. It serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment to protecting our skies and defending freedom. This print from Memory Lane Prints allows us to pay homage to not only RG 314 but also to all those who contributed their skills and sacrifices towards safeguarding our nation's security during that era.
