Anyone know what happened to all of them that were auctioned in 1971-72 at the Ernie Simmons auction in Canada?

I recall reading an article saying someone bought one as a plaything for their children.
In any event, I expected to see them show up as flying warbirds…I’m still waiting.:D

A Lot have made their way into museums, probably never to fly again.
These I’ve seen…
Canadian Warplane Heritage (Hamilton, ON) has two,
Western Canada Aviation Museum (Winnipeg, MB)
BCATP Museum (Brandon, MB)
Reynolds-Alberta Museum (Wetaskiwin, AB)
Nanton Lancaster Society Air Museum (Nanton, AB)
Western Development Museum (Moose Jaw, SK)
Privately owned (Creve Coeur near St. Louis, MO – possibly visiting)
USAF Museum (Dayton, OH)

These I’ve not…
Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association (Woodstock, ON)
No. 6 RCAF Dunnville Museum (Dunnville, ON)
CAF Museum (Midland, TX)
Pima Air & Space Museum (Tucson, AZ)
Milestones of Flight Air Museum (Lancaster, CA) – re-engined into BT-14
Aero Retro Warbirds (Wilmington, DE)
Southwest Aviation Inc (Fairacres, NM)
Privately Owned (Toledo, OH)
Privately Owned (Hershey, NE)
Privately owned, (Palm Harbour FL)
Privately owned (North Fort Myers, FL)
Privately owned (recently sold) (Birmingham, AL)
Privately owned (Casa Grande, AZ)
Privately owned (Norwalk IO)
Privately owned (Williamson, GA)
Privately owned (Brighton, MI)
Privately owned (St Charles, MO – possibly the one I saw at Creve Coeur)
Privately owned (Hershey, NE)
Privately owned (Wirtz, VA)
Privately owned (Wadsworth, OH)

So there are quite a few potentially on the circuit – most probably don’t travel much, and given the treacherous handling it is possible that many do not fly all that much either.
All of the ones listed as Privately owned showed an individuals name in the FAA registry (as opposed to a company name), of which there are 15.
There seems to be three additional aircraft on the Canadian registry in addition to those listed above.

Cheers,
