EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment when Modified de Havilland Mosquito FBVI, LR359, made the first twin-engined carrier-borne landing on HMS Indefatigable on 25 March 1944. Piloted by the renowned test pilot, Lt Cdr Eric Brown, this groundbreaking achievement marked a significant milestone in the development of carrier-borne aviation. The Mosquito FBVI, a versatile aircraft used for various roles including transport and reconnaissance, was modified specifically for carrier operations with the addition of arrester hooks and folding wings. This successful landing paved the way for the use of larger, more capable aircraft on aircraft carriers, expanding their operational capabilities and ultimately contributing to the Allied victory in World War II. Lt Cdr Brown's courage and skill are evident in this image as he expertly guides the Mosquito onto the deck of HMS Indefatigable, marking a new era in aviation history.
