Operation Bacon Grease is a non-historical 200-mile operation to destroy a German oil train heading from Cherbourg to Paris. We will be taking off in the de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito FB VI from Needs Oar Point in England before flying south across the channel to Cherbourg, then following the railway to the south-east, looking for the train. Once the train has been identified, the locomotive will need to be disabled, causing it to stop. then the 11-second fused 500-lb bombs can be utilised on the carriages. Once the bombs have gone off, we will fly back along the railway to the north, west to Cherbourg, then north across the channel and home to Needs Oar Point.
One of the most revolutionary and effective combat aircraft of WWII, the British de Havilland Mosquito was in service with the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1940 to 1961. A brilliant and innovative design, the ‘Mossie’ left a bright and lasting mark in the history of aviation and served the United States, Canada, and Australia.
An airframe built mostly of wood, to save on scarce metal supplies, earned the Mosquito the nickname "The Wooden Wonder". It was also known as ‘Freeman’s Folly’ after the Air Marshal who backed its production.
Armed with four 7.7mm (.303in) Browning machine guns and four 20mm (.79in) Hispano Mk.II cannons, this superbly versatile fighter-bomber could carry both bomb and rocket payloads over long distances at high speed – and deliver them with pinpoint accuracy.
The Mossie’s ability to maintain a high cruising speed at high altitude made it very difficult for Luftwaffe fighters to intercept it.
The DCS: Mosquito FB VI fighter-bomber you will be flying is the most impressive variant of this aircraft to see action in WWII. A total of 2,140 were produced.
Equipped with more powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin 25 engines, the FB Mk. VI’s excellent handling characteristics make it a pleasure to fly.
