I think with the conclusion of the production, Masters of the Air, the two full scale mock up B-17s should be included. Anyone know the location of the planes?

B-17F Flying Fortress - Storage Unknown, UK (built for HBO "Masters of the Air")
B-17F Flying Fortress - Storage Unknown, UK (built for HBO "Masters of the Air")

Also added were the four replica fighters at the Spitfire Visitor Centre Hangar 42 in Blackpool:

Mk.II Hurricane - Spitfire Visitor Centre Hangar 42, Blackpool, UK
Mk.II Spitfire - Spitfire Visitor Centre Hangar 42, Blackpool, UK
Mk.IX Spitfire - Spitfire Visitor Centre Hangar 42, Blackpool, UK
Bf-109E - Spitfire Visitor Centre Hangar 42, Blackpool, UK

And the replica P-51 At the Fagen Fighters Museum:

Remember seeing a P51 replica (falling apart) in front of a restaurant at the Columbis Ohio airport.

I do believe that Tallichet restaurant closed down. Not sure where the replicas went.

As you might imagine, given the scarcity of the real aircraft, as well as the (relative) ease of construction, there are a lot of WWI era replicas out there.

Here is a link to an ancient thread (2007-13) on the UK Key Publishing (FlyPast/Aeroplane) forum.
It runs to 12 pages (the master list kept getting updated so you can skip to the end). While many are period, many replicas are mentioned.

Also, a late friend flew a vary correct Sopwith Pup in 2016.
It is now in the Western.Antique Automobile and Airplane Museum in Oregon.

I have a 2019 gallery of images of the Yokaren Zero on my photo site
