BOAC Mosquito Flights

BOAC did a sterling job throughout WWII in maintaining civil air services with neutral countries, bringing in important high value materials, maintaining diplomatic relations, transporting key personnel, probably including spies. Many of these were operated by regular BOAC civilian pilots. What I've been unable to find out is, who flew BOAC's Mosquitos? While they would all legally have had to be civilian employees, were they in practice seconded from the RAF or were they trained from BOAC's original workforce?
