Other than the three I can think of, Friedkin's, the CAF and the FHC are there any other airworthy Hellcats out there?

The FHC's H3LLCAT is not airworthy. Most of the elevatror actuating bellcranks and bracketry went to another F6F long before it was aquired by FHC-

Yes, in the UK with TFC at Duxford.
There is also 2 other "airworthy" Hellcats with the Yanks Air Museum and the Palm Springs Air Museum but AFAIK they are not active flyers.

The Pond F6F may not fly often but it has been at the Planes of Fame airshow within the last 3 years.
