The Irvin Squadron with de Havilland Mosquito HJ711

Members of The Irvin Squadron, a Belgian RAF WWII reenactment group, stand ready in full flying kit beside de Havilland Mosquito HJ711, meticulously restored and maintained by Tony Agar at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre. Captured at dusk, with propellers turning, this atmospheric image evokes the quiet determination of RAF crews preparing for night operations during the Second World War.
