Intercepted Mosquitos

There's a thread on the "Military" section about Stolen Aircraft and I've recalled the story about three Mosquitos which I heard were illegally sold by a scrap-man to Israel in 1955/6, were intercepted en-route and forced to land at Thruxton where they sat alongside the A303 for years until they were dragged away and burnt.
I don't suppose there's anyone in the Military old enough to have seen them or even heard the story...............can anyone here recall the full story ?
