During normal night-flying practice at 2230
hours on 16th Jan,
one of British Mosquitos xxxxxxxx was vectored on to an unidentified
A/C at 22,000 ft. A long chase ensued commencing over the North Sea
about 50 miles from the Dutch Coast and ending at 2300 hours over
Norfolk.
Two brief AI contacts were made but faded quickly. The unidentified
aircraft appeared to take efficient controlled evasive action.
No explanation of this incident has been
forthcoming nor has it been
