The Mosquito at the Chino Planes Of Fame - Another viewpoint

[Dash119]

I didn't want to hijack syscom3 's thread...

We had a Mosquito at the museum last week, and it went flying on Saturday.

I didn't get any video, but here are some pictures:

Someone with an impeccable reputation told me on Saturday that there were only 3 airworthy examples in the world. I was under the impression there are four;

1) This one, owned by Charles Somers from Sacramento California USA.
2) One based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada owned by Robert Jens.
3) One based in Virginia Beach, Virginia USA and owned by the Military Aviation Museum.
4) One based in Everett, Washington, USA and owned by the Flying Heritage and Combat Armor Museum. This one was not mentioned, does anyone know the status of this one? I know the museum is closed, but I would think this one was still airworthy and would fetch a rather large sum of money upon it's sale...

Your list is correct. Jens' hasn't flown for a couple of years and is for sale so may have been off your expert's radar.
