British deHaviland "Mosquito". The airplane was made with a lot of wood in the construction to make it as light as possible. And the two engines gave it a tremendous amount of power for its size. It was designed specifically for fast reconniance but it could carry a few small bombs.

The 633 Squadron is a fictional RAF Mosquito Squadron of WW II. It exist only in the movie. This is not true. The name 633 Squadron became known through a novel and subsequent movie, both of course fictional. There was and still is however a real 633 Squadron formed in 1948. It is a voluntary RAF Squadron for the flight training of young Air Training Corps cadets. I used to be an instructor with this squadron.
RAF 633 Squadron never existed during WWII. The number is fictional and was used in the film only. The film was shot with Bovingdon as its base.
