RAFM Museum Spitfires

With the f22 gone to Kennet and MT847 off to America does anyone have a complete list of the whereabouts of all the RAFM spitfires? The F21 with 1 squadron is not on their books, is it?

And so many possibilties to swap them for new exhibits such as: A20 (yes still that one), B26 (the real one), Maryland (somewhere in the desert), aircobra (albeit flown briefly), Vindicator etc.

Mk.XVI RW393 is still at the museum (it’s used for “Sit in a Spit” experiences, if I remember right).
