There are 2 that are in flying condition in mainland Europe now. I believe there are one or 2 in England. There are several in the United States and there are a few in Canada I believe.

Country:  | I believe Der Adler is correct 2 flying in Europe and one in Canada these are the one's with Daimler engines but keeping them airborne is certainly an exspensive game . The engines are good for only a couple of hundred hours between overhauls and it's hard to find spares for them, plugs are $200 ea tires etc are all very hard to get as most of the spares were scrapped at the end of WW2. Much harder to find parts then for allied warbirds
