There is a good account of the history of all these surving aircraft in the 1986 book (Aston Publications, UK) by Stuart Howe, titled 'Mosquito Survivors'. Could certainly do with an update but its a good start.

I posted these a couple years ago; they were taken in '63 during the filming of 633 Squadron.
