I have a question, does anyone know if the Mosquito XVIII only used the 57 mm gun or was it able to carry rockets like the later version of the Mosquito VI?
Not got my references to hand, but I believe it could carry the same ordnance load out as the FB MkVI.. but was quickly superceded by the fitting of amourpiercing rockets that became available to other variants.. it was also fitted with four .303 MG's in the nose.. (reduced to two on some aircraft to allow for heavier fuel load)
