Always been my favourite WWII plane and led me to think; are there actually any on display anywhere?

All in the US alas

There are - but none in the UK at the moment as far as I am aware. Red Bull operates an airworthy example which makes a number of appearances in the UK each year.

There are a small number flying in the US, the most famous being "Glacier Girl".

Fantastic stuff, thanks chaps. Good effort by Redbull for keeping one going, hope i get to see it someday. For the moment I'll have to contend with finishing the 1:72 airfix version I've had half-finished for the last 3 years...

I saw the Red Bull example when it was based in the US 30 plus years ago. It was owned by Lefty Gardner, one of the founders of the Confederate Air Force and was then painted all white and used in air racing. It looks beter now.
