Oops. 😀
So much is going on down in Australia and New Zealand in the restoration world that I got the two mixed up.

That would be NZ
The Fighter Factory has one under restoration in Australia with Avspecs. I believe all of the structure is new but has original fixtures and fittings.

Currently no Mosquitos flying, though there are a couple under restoration.

The second mosquito is in Canada with Bob Jens.
Other potential candidates
Kermit Weeks mosquito (which I believe is one of the two you may have saw, the other being the sadly no longer with us BAe example) was in flying condition but has been in the EAA museum at Oshkosh for many years now.
The ex-TFC mosquito was IIRC sold to Paul Allens Flying Heritage Collection, but i don’t know of its current whereabouts.
