    Are there any surviving Mosquito Pilots in the UK?

    I fancy trying to track a few down and interview them so just putting the question out there and seeing if anyone knows of any currently still alive?

    Cheers, MP

    Not sure about the question as I don't know but I know my first step would be to contact the Dehavilland museum...If they don't know then you got problems...Although Tinus Le Roux might know...Good luck MP...Its a worthy idea...

    EDIT...You could also try the guys (Paul Allen) who built the new one down under...Just a thought

    You could also try the folks at The People's Mosquito

    http://www.peoplesmosquito.org.uk/contact-us/

    or The Mosquito Aircrew Association, which although I believe is now wound up, has a contact listing halfway down the page here:

    http://www.rafupwood.co.uk/associations.html

    I don't know how old that page is though... sadly last update was in 2001.

    I hope you succeed in this endeavour, I'm sure quite a few of us will be watching your progress - excellent project!!
