[TA152]

If I recall correctly they were in the Mediterranean area of operations but I don't know how they were used. Maybe nightfighters ?

Here you go. The US got 100 of them for nightfighters. One is in the US museum which I did not know.
Factsheets : Bristol Beaufighter

De Havilland "Albatross" is a nice looking aircraft from WWII.

Oh yes the Mosquito - fantastic aircraft - maybe the best medium bomber/fighter of WWII ?

I read some time ago that they had some "quelling" problems in South-East-Asia, but still managed to perform very well.

Did you know that the USAAF also used Mosquitoes ? - must have been pretty hard for those US boys having to fly "wooden" aircraft's

The Mosquito was used in the Far East but the humidity played havoc with wood swelling and glue seperation which put paid to that venture , most of that was taken over by the Beaufighter in ground attack and torpedo bombing , called Whispering Death by the Japanese on account of the quiet running sleeve valve engines used .
But over and above the Far East it was used in all areas of the war with great success .
