I think it should come over here to the US where there is more of a "can do" attitude, rather than the "its not going to be flyable anymore".
Putting on hard hat for the expected US-bashing.
No bashing from me. In fact I'd agree totally that it should go to the US if it could be kept airworthy there.

After all it seems it's future here is either as some static museum piece or being left outside in all weathers 24/7 with a taxi run or two a year; and there's already a couple of Vulcans that do that.

Would I prefer to see the De Havilland Mosquito as opposed to this Cold war aircraft? You bet your life I would, a far, far more iconic aircraft which surely has the right to be preserved??
Better get your wallet ready then, as the bag of scrap metal that the 'People's Mosquito' currently have is going to need a shed load of cash just to get it resembling a Mossie again, let alone it being able to fly.
