Word has it Bob Jens' Mosquito, VR796, has taken to the air in Victoria, B.C. for a short first flight after decades on the ground.

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB
