Hi There
For what it's worth the only intact example would be the one at Harold Thomas's collection at Camden NSW which is a former RAAF example and in good condition - I suppose one day it could fly with enough money thrown at it - it has done engine runs in the recent past I believe.
In Western Australia at Bull Creek I believe there enough remains to rebuild one or perhaps more but very rough apparently having been attacked with an axe at one time or so I read - I haven't seen this stuff so I can't say exactly.
Having been a bit of a fan of the type as it is a bit of an underdog I looked into survivors some time ago but this was all I could find although there are rummors of parts in India and Burma.
