Historical Information

The De Havilland DH-103 Hornet was a British fighter aircraft designed as an evolution of the famous Mosquito. The PR.2 (Photo Reconnaissance) version was a specialized reconnaissance variant, equipped with photographic equipment instead of assault armament. The aircraft entered service in the late 1940s and was used, among others, for photo-reconnaissance in the Far East and during various RAF peacekeeping operations in the early Cold War era, including in Malaysia. The DH-103 Hornet PR.2 was valued for its excellent performance—high speed and great range enabled effective penetration over enemy territory from 1947 to 1952.
