Model Aircraft Monthly 2006-04

During this period it was assumed that the defence policy of the UK would be based on the principle of deterrence of war in all its forms and OR 343 stated that by 1965, the RAF would require a new aircraft to carry out tactical strike and reconnaissance operations, using both nuclear and conventional weapons, enabling the RAF to continue to provide tactical support for the Army, to make an effective contribution to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACUR)'s forces and Britain's other regional pacts such as Central Treaty Organisation and South East Asia Treaty Organisation. In addition to this, such an aircraft would also allow the RAF to deter, and if necessary to fight, limited wars in theatres outside Europe as part of its commitments to maintain the internal and external security of those territories for which it was responsible, to whom there were obligations, or in which the UK had essential economic interests.

By October 1938 de Havilland's had decided that although it was intended to raise the combat speed of its bomber into the 400mph category, the Mosquito was to be constructed in wood. The company was used to this material and had the necessary equipment. There were, in fact, other reasons for this choice but the main one was that the metal industry was already working to capacity and, in time, would be taxed even more. This would mean a delay in construction and testing. It was not until the outbreak of war in 1939 that interest in a totally unarmed bomber began to harden and in early 1940 an Air Ministry specification, B. 1/40, was issued asking for basic requirements of a 1,000 lb bomb load and a range of 1,500 miles. In March 1940 an official order for fifty aircraft reached de Havilland.
