Elvington has a Mosquito NF under restoration to taxiable condition - looked fantastic when Gill and I were there last Summer.

Hendon's Mossie is particularly well displayed in their newish first hall.

DeHaviland at London Colney have 3 I seem to recall: 2 complete and 1 in bits. They have the first prototype, which interestingly remains the fastest Mosquito...
