There are currently 4 that have permits according to the CAA database.
As a matter of interest do you happen to know who the 146 belongs to? I must admit that I might not be a fan of modern firecans but I like that colour scheme. Having said that, the 146 has been around that long that it almost qualifies as historic.
Here is its info on the CAA’s database
I think they have one working engine that is on the front of WG655 when it arrives, but as for the other two not sure.
Its the Evening with the Fighter Collection event, I believe they were running a couple of their aircraft in the dark tonight for the attendees.
Storch or Criquet?
Storch
IIRC the Norwich Jag is the ex Coltishall gate guard and is a GR1
Norwich has two Jaguars, there is the ex Coltishall gate guard in the town centre (as mentioned) and also one at the Museum on the Airport.
The B-17 was a flyer, not sure if it did any airshows over here but it did a tour/flyover of former airfields with Sally B before it was grounded to be put in the museum.
I think photo 4 is the canopy off of the Martin Baker M.B.2

Photo 3 is a SUU-23/A gunpod. It seems from reading on the net it was used on RAF Phantoms.
The advert has been around for along time. If you see when it was added to youtube its over a year old.
It is a very good advert though, if only they could find more Lancasters like that.
I’m with Zeb and Turretboy, looks like the Avro Arrow replica.
:diablo:
Oops. 😀
So much is going on down in Australia and New Zealand in the restoration world that I got the two mixed up.
Currently no Mosquitos flying, though there are a couple under restoration.
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.

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.
I did the course that Lindy’s Lad is talking about, but I did it through Kingston University when EASA was the JAA. I was on the second course to go through (Jan 02 to Dec 03). Part of it was done up at Norwich Airport as the course was partly done by KLMuk Engineering.
It is a good course to do, but is a lot of hard work. One thing I do remember from my time on the course is when the head of the faculty at Kingston (can’t remember his name) was all excited as the 737 had arrived at Newcastle for the Academy.
There is a Napier powered one being restored by PPS for Kermit Weeks.
