The owner of the 3 Mossie's was John Crewdson who had 'appeared' in a few films. He told me one day, on a visit to Biggin Hill with the three Mossies, that he wasn't in for the money, just the pleasure!
Sadly he was killed in Jet Ranger crash over The Wash.
What a nice man! Did a film with him down in Devon. He had to fly the aircraft at the camera, perched on the top of Berry Head. Wind about 30+ knots at the optimum crosswind angle! The Director screaming because the aircraft nose wasn't actually pointing at the camera!!!
