My father (a regular NCO) served on 684 (later 81) Sqn in the Far East with the PR34 and 34A from 1944 to 47 and the RAF retired its last ones out there in the mid-1950s.

Drifting - as U do - one of Dad's squadron commanders was the first senior officer 'invited' to retire when the breath test for motorists was introduced. Great pity, very talented chap.

There is this, People's Mosquito I'm not aware of any other attempts to get one flying in the UK.
