The **Mosquito B. Mk 35** was the final bomber variant of the versatile British twin-engined de Havilland Mosquito, affectionately known as the **”Wooden Wonder”** due to its unique, largely wood construction.

It represented the ultimate development of the unarmed high-altitude bomber concept for the Mosquito, which relied on its superior speed to evade enemy fighters.

Role and Service History

**Primary Role:** High-altitude, unarmed medium bomber and Pathfinder aircraft.
**Development:** It was a development of the B. Mk XVI and featured several key improvements for high-altitude performance.
**Engines:** Powered by two **Rolls-Royce Merlin 113/114A** liquid-cooled V-12 engines with **two-stage, two-speed superchargers**, providing significantly improved performance at higher altitudes.
**Wartime Service:** The prototype first flew on March 12, 1945, which meant the B. Mk 35 appeared too late to see operational service during World War II in Europe.
**Post-War Use:** It entered service with the post-war Royal Air Force (RAF), serving as a bomber with units like the British Air Forces of Occupation (BAFO) in Germany until being replaced by jet bombers like the English Electric Canberra in the early 1950s.
**Later Conversions:** Many B. Mk 35s were later converted for secondary duties, most notably to the **TT.35 target tug** variant, extending their service life into the early 1960s.

Key Technical Features

**Construction:** Mostly wooden airframe, a hallmark of the Mosquito series.
**Cockpit:** Retained the **pressurised cabin** of the B. Mk XVI, essential for high-altitude operations.
**Bomb Bay:** Equipped with a **bulged bomb bay** (known as the “bulged bomb door”) to accommodate a single large **4,000 lb High Capacity (HC) “Cookie” blast bomb**.
**Navigation:** Incorporated features for long-range, high-altitude navigation, including a top **’astrodome’ blister** for taking sextant readings.
**Armament:** As an unarmed bomber variant, it carried **no fixed defensive or offensive guns**, relying entirely on its speed and altitude for survivability.
