Liberation from Amiens by Tim Fisher.


Liberation from Amiens by Tim Fisher.

This sortie was for the sole purpose of saving lives. The objective was to initiate a breakout of more than 700 French resistance workers from Amiens prison, many of whom were on their eve of execution by their Gestapo jailers. The De Havilland Mosquito FB Mk V1s of 464 and 487 Squadron of No 140 wing were to breach the outer walls and destroy certain key buildings within the compound. Absolute pin point precision was vital to reduce casualties amongst the French patriots. Three formations of six aircraft were formed, each crewed by the most experienced members of these squadrons. Low level runs at only fifteen feet were required to maintain bombing accuracy. The raid was the responsibility of Group Captain Percy Charles Pickard, DSO, DFC. The navigational plot was in the hands of Pickards inseparable friend and navigator, Flight Lieutenant J A Bill Broadley. The operation took place on the 18th Februrary 1944 in terrible weather, with heavy snow falling, sweeping in gusts and almo.........

Breakout. Amiens Raid by Mosquitos by Ivan Berryman.


Breakout. Amiens Raid by Mosquitos by Ivan Berryman.

When De Havilland built the prototype DH.98 Mosquito (E-0234) they did so as an act of the purest faith in their design since the Air Ministry had already dismissed the companys proposal for their all-wood aircraft as impractical and unworkable. However, when E-0234 first flew on 25th November 1940, it demonstrated remarkably smooth handling characteristics and its speed, as expected, was outstanding. Here at last was a bomber which, in a straight line, could outfly even the Spitfire, giving rise to such nicknames as Wooden Wonder and, succicntly The Aeroplane. With such an aircraft, it was soon realised, many new possibilities were laid open to the RAF, among them the chance to initiate precision raids whereupon carefully selected isolated targets could be attacked with pinpoint accuracy. Just such a raid took place on 18th February 1944, involving 18 Mosquitoes of Nos 64 and 487 Squadrons in an operation on the jail at Amiens, France, where a large number of the French Resistance we.........

Mosquitos at Dusk by Nicolas Trudgian    The exploits of the Mosquito and her crews are the stuff of legend.  This magnificent aircraft, the blight of German air and land forces, pulled off some of the most amazingly precise raids of World War Two.  Powered by two Rolls Royce Merlin engines and made almost totally from wood, and with a top speed in excess of 400mph, the Mosquito could out-run any other aircraft of its day.  Highly nimble, and with its ability to carry virtually every type of weapon available to the RAF, this superb aeroplane fulfilled every role performed by the Service from bomber to reconnaissance, fighter-intruder, and night-fighter, from ground and anti-shipping attack missions to chasing and destroying the appalling V1 "doodlebug" rocket missiles.  The Mosquitos's agility and suitability to tree top level attacks gave its crews the advantage of surprise, and its high speed allowed it to contest a huge variety of precision bombing missions - most famous of which being the highly successful attacks on Amiens prison and the Gestapo headquarters buildings at Aarhus in Denmark in 1944, and again hitting the Gestapo headquarters in Copenhagen in 1945.

Mosquito Attack by Philip E West.  On 31st October 1944 a courageous low level attack was undertaken by Mosquitoes of Nos. 21, 464 and 487 squadrons on the Aarthus University, Denmark, which housed the Gestapo HQ for the whole of Jutland.

Four days later, on Wednesday 8th, Arsenal rode into Old Trafford. This time a goal by Sylvain Wiltord on his 100th appearance for the club was enough for Arsene Wenger's team to overcome Manchester United and clinch the Premiership title, maintaining a record of scoring in every league game of the season. For the second time in four years under their long-serving and inspirational captain Tony Adams, Arsenal had performed the classic double of English football, the third in their history making 2001-02, a season never to be forgotten.
