5 were flown in the film.
But a 6th airworthy one was flown into Bovingdon and used for ground and cockpit scenes. This a/c was the T.3 that soon after filming was allocted to the IWM and had it's wing chopped off so as to be displayed at Lambeth for the next several decades.
After being sold/swapped by the IWM to TFC at Duxford, it was subsequently sold on, and is now owned by Paul Allen's Flying Heritage Collection and is the next one in line for restoration back to airworthy by Avpecs in NZ.
