Agreed, the Mosquito, a real MRCA if ever there was one. Still staggering that during a period of massive development of engines and airframes, the Mossie held the speed record for quite a bit of WW2.
A private development that the War Office had turned down, but de Havilland continued with regardless. How would the war have changed if de Havilland had not had the guts to continue?
There's at least one in the museum at Salisbury Hall that could fly again. The very first Mossie is there, and I think that's unique, as the only prototype of a WW2 aircraft still preserved.
