Two actually and both flyable. The original one was unfortunately all but destroyed by fire in about 1970.
Don't know where the second one is now. I remember it landing at Farnborough in '98 (or was it 2000?) in a strong crosswind - it landed across the runway! Last I saw of it was when it came into Fairoaks in about 2010.
