Images of HJ711 at the Yorkshire Air Museum
|
|
|
Mosquito HJ711 is owned by Tony Agar. Significant progress has been
made on the aircraft since my first visit to the Yorkshire air Museum
during the Summer of 1996. Thanks must go to Tony for allowing me to
get so close to the aircraft - a lot of these pictures would not have
been possible without his help.
