IWM caption : Cannon fire from a De Havilland Mosquito FB Mark VI of No. 248 Squadron RAF strikes the fuselage of a Junkers Ju 88, during an interception of a mixed formation of 18 German torpedo bombers by 45 De Havilland Mosquitos of the Banff Strike Wing over the North Sea. The Mosquitos sighted the formation about 150 miles from the Scottish coast while returning at dusk from an uneventful anti-shipping patrol in the Kattegat. They succeeded in shooting down nine enemy aircraft without loss to themselves.
