@Triton @Grey Havoc - Thank you for the wonderful pieces on one of my favorite aircraft of all time. Having flown the Mossie in simulation and tried to recreate some of those most difficult of missions I can tell you that I have nothing but admiration for those who did so without auto-pilot, GPS, bombing aids, etc. Truly the greatest age of airmen.
