Did any variants of the Mosquito have locking tailwheels, or were they all free-swiveling?

The very early ones didn’t have Marstrand tyres. I dealt with the other in my previous post.
When operating RR299, BAe did look at locking tailwheel provision following a ground loop in about 1987, but nothing came of it.

All had Marstrand self centering tyres, the ones with two ridges around the circumference to assist in managing shimmy in castoring.

All free castoring
