XR222 and XR220 (from memory) are the two that are left complete. '220 is at Cosford and the other one (which I think is '222) is at Duxford.

However, the other site will tell you that, and that's not the point of this post. Being a Light Blue reservist, I was up at Cosford on a semi-official visit, and a couple of us were able to get into '220, and it was stunning. M-B Mk 8 seats very comfortable, the design obivously sixites but also very neatly laid out and it was amazing (I smiled for a week!) though tinged with the usual sadness and anger over the criminal waste of it all.

Also had good look around '220, and since it has sat indoors nearly all it's life (first at Cranfield, then at Cosford), it's in strinkingly good condition -- anyone fancy getting BA to part with a couple of Olumpus 593s for fast taxying . . . ? Perchance to dream. As the Duxford one has sat outside a lot, I'm not sure what kind of state it's in. Anyone any information?
