Hunt over.
Looks like the IAF used one Mosquito for ground attack and photo-recon during 1948, before it crashed in September of that year. Then between 1951 and 1958, 109 and 110 Squadron of the IAF had about 70 of the aircraft delivered and they saw action for ground attack, photo-recon and training purposes, before the squadrons were disbanded when the newer french Dassualt Mystere aircraft arrived.
Other users of the Mosquito included the Royal Australian Air Force, Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal New Zealand Air Force, United StatesArmy Air Force, but it also saw action with the air forces of Belgium, Burma, China, Czechoslovakia, France, Norway, South Africa, USSR, Sweden, Turkey, Yugoslavia and the Dominican Republic.
(You could incorporate that information into the entry if you want emr, but it's not vital )

Again, please comment on this thread rather than at the Entries themselves for ease of subbing

Sorry to take so long to note the bit about the Arab-Israeli conflict (I was away, you see). It's quite late here and I'm on my way to bed, but I'll take a proper look at it tomorrow.

So long as the links only go to other project entries or to entries that are already in the Edited Guide or heading towards there (ie, already accepted from Peer Review), then you can link to them in the top links.
Just make sure you link to the edited version, not the Peer Review version.

How you doing with these emr? There's just a tad to do (The Spit and Hurri links to the small headers and that Mozzie info), then I can shoot 'em back to the Eds before the weekend
Unless there's any more comments?

I'm so sorry; I completely forgot.
The links are done, though I wasn't really sure where you wanted the Mozzie info or how you wanted it phrased.

A Plague of Mozzies
The Mosquito was widely used after the Second World War also, with the fledgling Israeli Air Force having some success with the aircraft. Between 1951 and 1958, 109 and 110 Squadron of the IAF had about 70 Mosquitoes delivered, and they saw action in ground attack, photo-recon and training purposes, before the squadrons were disbanded when the newer french Dassault Mystere arrived.
Other users of the Mosquito included the Royal Australian Air Force, Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal New Zealand Air Force, United States Army Air Force, but it also saw action with the air forces of Belgium, Burma, China, Czechoslovakia, France, Norway, South Africa, USSR, Sweden, Turkey, Yugoslavia and the Dominican Republic.

I know this is being picky, but could the tag in the links go after the Defiant and then another after the Whirlwind, so the Spit and Hurri stand alone? It just looks nicer that way on my screen size, which I think is an average laptop size Don't worry too much though
