Just saw the movie 633 Squadron and was wondering: Were those all
genuine
Mosquitos? Or were some actually models? Some of the attack schemes
seemed to
be models since they flew a little strangely.

How many Mosquitos are still flying?

From B. Fillery's Mosquito page

There is a page with the following movie information on it:

633 Squadron. - 1964
RAF- Cliff Robertson; Mosquito bombers attack heavy water plant. Filmed
at ex-RAF Bovingdon, with 3 CAACU DH Mosquito TT.Mk.35's

Total of 11 Mossies, 5 were flyable, including:

* T.Mk.3 TW117 (Calif.)
* T.Mk.3 TV954 (Duxford)
* T.Mk.3 TJ118 ground scenes (cockpit Moss Mus.)

The rear fuselage section might still be with a guy I knew who was
building
a spitfire and who lived in Kidlington, Oxon. Can't remember his name as
I'm getting drunk right now!

Remembered the guys names. Julian Mitchell and Steven Arnold who were
rebuilding a Spitfire in Kidlington, Oxfordshire the last time I saw them.
