Worldwide Numbers of Static Replica Warbirds by Type

[Warbird Kid]

The TBM previously at Day Day Museum in New Orleans is best left unspoken.

Where did it go? Any pictures? And as for that matter, where did the F6F that was one Intrepid go?

[Aeronut]

There are two Airspeed Horsa replicas in Holland, one was built in the UK by the Assault Glider Project (who built several cockpits and a complete? airframe kit for a US museum) and another built as a film prop.
The D-day museum at Bayeux has a replica Hawker Typhoon whilst the Army Flying museum at Middle Wallop has a replica of the Hafner Rotabuggy flying Jeep (although the Jeep is a real on).

The D-day museum at Bayeux has a replica Hawker Typhoon

Yeah, I found out about that after I'd spent a few days in Bayeux and had decided to skip that museum in favor of some of the others in the area. If I'd known, I probably would have gone there. Oh well, there's too many museums in the region to see them all unless you have a bunch of time for them.

"P-40, Hanscom AFB" Stump Jumper - Got a few photo's of her when took her down and put her in a hangar I was working in.

The Typhoon is in Caen, not Bayeux.

Pima had a X-15 replica...unless that is the one now at Edwards.
Is the X-15 at Edwards and the Chino X-1 the replicas built for The Right Stuff?

Universal Studios in Hollywood had a nice X-2 replica, used in an episode of the early '90s series Quantum Leap. I saw it on a tour.

Another possible addition...
The Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum in the UK had a Bf-109 replica years ago.

[Paul Stroud]

Also in the UK, the Kent Battle of Britain Museum has some Spitfire, Hurricane and Buchon replicas from the 1969 film, as well as a Defiant replica built by retired Boulton Paul employees.
The Yorkshire Air Museum has a very good 109G replica as well as the obligatory Hurri and Spit.

P-6E replica at Oshkosh.

P-6E replica at Oshkosh.

I just finished reading the book "Hawk Safari" by the builder of that airplane, and according to him, it's more of a "real" P-6E than the one at the AF museum, which apparently has a lot of fiberglass parts on it. The book ends without saying whether or not the airplane flew, and I cannot find any photos of it in flight or even with the engine running. Does anyone here know if that airplane actually flew? I've been dying to know and can't find anything online. My dad and I visited the EAA museum in '19, and that is one beautiful airplane.

As far as I know the P-6E built by Ralph Rosanik never flew. I'm not sure it was ever actually completed before he passed away.

At the end of the book, they had sorted out all the engine issues and it was ready to fly...unfortunately, that’s where the book ends.

From the July 1992 EAA Sport Aviation magazine (it was ground run):

As this issue went to press, Ralph
and his crew had finally isolated the
Conqueror's problem . . . a faulty
mag. The plan was to get it rebuilt,
get the Hawk into the air, get the time
flown off and head for Oshkosh '92.
Sport Aviation will revisit the Hawk
once it is flying and follow up in a future
issue with aerial photos and a
flight report from Ralph.

December 2000 EAA Hot Line (Donating a Dream):

Enduring several business
reversals, a stroke,
and the death of his wife,
Ralph completed the airplane
and displayed it at
EAA's 1993 convention in
Oshkosh, roughly 60 years
after the dream sprang to
life in his mind. Because of
his age (Ralph was 75 in
1993), he wasn't able to
fulfill the second half of
his dream—to fly the
Hawk, which wears the
distinctive snow owl paint
scheme unique to it. But
there's no doubt it will inspire
dreams of flight and
the possibilities the spirit
of homebuilding makes
feasible in the visitors it attracts
to its place in the Eagle
Hangar.

Pima had a X-15 replica

Their space hangar was closed the last time I was there, so I didn't know that.
The Evergreen Museum at McMinnville has a replica X-15 as well as a few space-related replicas.
The X-15 looks like a scale model in this shot but I'm pretty sure it's full size:

They also have a ME-262 replica there.

I took both these shots the last time I was there.

What happened to the replicas from the 94th Aero restaurant in College Park, Marxland?
