I've been trying to find out about these for some time, but the only information I have so far is that all the Dominican Beau's were scrapped at some point in the fifties.
If you're looking for overseas Beaufighter users, Portugal Turkey and Israel all used them as well, and apparently the remains of an Isaeli Beau were discovered on a beach a couple of years ago. Word is they're being held for the Israeli Air Force museum.
