Hi Cees,

A Canadian perspertive......well mine anyway.

Lets see

A static & bits and pieces leftover in B.C.

I think they still have parts for a static also in this B.C. museum, not sure however.

A static & bits and pieces in Alberta
http://www.lancastermuseum.ca/

2 statics & 6+ airframes in Manitoba ( youe best bet for a project, I was impress by the amount of airframes left over & thier general conditions )

A static in Ottawa

1 project rebuilt to flying and a lots of parts. Enough for a couple of statics in Hamilton ( CHW )

1 static project in Quebec

Did I forgot any ??

Getting a project or a nose from Canada is feasable, however, they are not easy to work on
- Early stressed skin structure design
- Early Brit design. No pun intended, they are fairly complex animals
- Hard to find parts for the Mercury engines
- Withworth toolong ( Not sure of the spelling )

Having said all of this......... It is a favorite of mine and what a georgous plane
