(Yes, they used Harvards in ABTF too !)

How many Airspeed Horsa glider replicas were built for the film and were any preserved?

Several

None

They weren't as good as they looked (good prop making) and a number of them were 'only' 2d cutouts for horizon work. I believe one was preserved for a while but it just came apart in the end.

Do we know where these pair were previously located to the filming, I know it might seem obvious but I'm wondering if these had previously been woring in Nigeria?
