I feel very fortunate (fer an Amerikun) to have seen all three UK examples on display as well as Weeks' example at Oshkosh.

The one on display in the Southampton Hall of Aviation you can even tour through. It is beautifully presented!

Weeks' is usually set up as a walkthrough example as well. Though it gets a bit hot when parked out in the sun! Guess that has to happen to move anything else it that hangar!!! It takes up some floor space!

These are the final days of operations out of Sydney and Lord Howe Island. The aircraft are the now Weeks bird and the one now extant at Southampton.

Oh, and don't forget about this one. I would love to hear of any updates on this project and the state of play today. The attatched video on the link is very good in my opinion too.

No question that was taken in front of the London Bridge, so obviously it was taken in Arizona.
