I seem to recall Flypast did a survey of surviving Spitfires worldwide many years ago and had 199 listed. A quick and very rough count now has that figure approaching 240, though of course, one man's survivor is another man's collection of a few scrap parts... I think there are currently 70 fliers and projects currently on the UK register - and that doesn't include the six with the BBMF!
