Waddo Plummer is quite correct. A Mossie was well within the BBMF's grasp but the initiative failed due to the extra manpower that would be needed to maintain it and, believe it or not, concern that, in the future, there could be noone suitably qualified or with the necessary background the fly it to the required standard. Maddening but true as I believed (and still do) that it was the finest of all the aircraft that were spawned by the war.
