Thanks, Brian.

I love the Mosquito.  My father was keen to buy a working example around 40 
years ago, but could not raise the £3,000 required; he would be so chuffed that 
another is working.  That cockpit looks pristine.

But the "jet fighter" wasn't really a fighter.  It's a Strikemaster, an 
operational version of the Jet Provost Mk5 (on which I trained navigators for 3 
years), but it was a ground-attack aircraft only.  I don't think that it had 
any sort of air-to-air aiming system for the guns.
