The image shows one Mosquito flying to the left against a brownish-orange sky and three grounded Mosquitos. To the left is a grounded plane facing left. The nose, propellors, most of the winds and part of the tail are visible. Under the left wing is a standing uniformed man unscrewing an engine panel with a circular container at his feet. Under the left propeller are three uniformed men. The man at the back is standing, the two in the front are kneeling on the ground. The man on the left is leaning on the man on the rights knee. He is holding a clipboard in his right hand. The man on the right is pointing down to a document on the ground. There is a helmet on the ground to the right of the document. Two more uniformed men can be seen behind and under the right wing. To the right is a second grounded Mosquito with is propellors going. A uniformed man is standing in front of it. In the far background is a third grounded Mosquito, facing right. The typed item stuck to the back gives more information. It states that during the climatic phases of WWII the highly successful Mosquito, powered by two Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, allowed some aircrews to fly up to three sorties in twenty-four hours. The German capital was attacked with such regularity, the inhabitants christened the high speed bomber The Berlin express.
