I think I heard/saw something about a version, modified for electronic surveillance that was also still flying... maybe in Canada. Can't find a link.

It is the only one that flies anywhere....
Privately operated...albeit restored with funding from the National Lottery..

A fantastic effort and an amazing sight and sensation when flying...
