I'm not sure of the total number of survivors or that the following is 100% accurate, but there is one on the Lex, I think two at Pensacola (one is a Photo Recce version), Wings of Eagles has one and I believe there is one in the Canadian National Museum in Ottawa. There's probably a few more, but not many.

There's also a Banshee at the Shearwater Air Museum in Nova Scotia.

I was trying to find a link to provide pictures but it seems their website is having issues.

I took this in Pensacola back in April

There is an F2H-2P Banshee on display in a park in Baton Rouge.

It has been there since the mid 1950's.

Here is a photo of a F2H-2 at the Flying Leathernck Museum, MCAS Miramar, (San Diego) , CA

There is also one at the Naval Museum of Alberta in Calgary, Canada. Yes, I know, the sea is very far from there
They also have a Seafury and a Seafire. Nice small and interesting museum related to the Royal Canadian Navy.
