i have some photos of Edwards' storage hangar somewhere, but as far as i remeber there were at least 5 buchons and a spitfire still in BoB markings. and a few mustangs in south american camo + a flyable T-6. very dusty looking, but otherwise in great shape.
he said that he did not flew them because he was not interested in "small airplanes" any more...
very interesting character ;)
hope it helps
