and speaking of carriers.., is that Jack?

Maybe the brass was tired of him putting his hands in his pockets so they finally found a job that would cease that behavior all together! :shock: :D :D

There actually was a RN FAA version that was designed for deck landings the Sea Mosquito TR Mk 33.

I believe that the shape of the empennage, helps to ID it as a Sea Hornet.
