I think Dougs Mossie is the one which ended up with Kermit Weeks in the USA.
As an aside, I met Doug's son at Fairoaks in about 2014 and (after mentioning his father used to own the airport) he told me he was running an aviation collection in the US.
Doug's Mossie is now with the USAF Museum, Kermit acquired his from Strathallan. I believe George Ellis ferried both of them across the Atlantic. Pretty sure David Arnold still has one or two of Doug's treasures squirelled away somewhere in the UK!
