There’s one with bits of skin cut off at the Rolls Royce Heritage centre in Derby. I don’t know if it was a real one.

And we’ve got a very pretty Stentor on its stand here in Liverpool – it’s even got a lightbulb in the jet-pipe! 😀

There was also a Blue Steel round in the Science Museum last time I went a couple of years ago…

There were two engines advertised on Ebay a few years ago. Fearsome things they looked too!

There is also at least one at the former AWRE Woomara, Australia

There is also a Stentor engine in the Propulsion Trade Training hangar at RAF Cosford.

Yes there is one at Newark, which I believe came out of RAF Newton and has been discussed here before.
There is also one at the Roll-Royce Heritage Trust Centre in Derby displayed alongside a B.S.Stentor motor.

out of the 53 operational live rounds produced, there are two blue steel missiles i can think of offhand, the one at cosford and the other at the Midland Air Museum (thats not to say that there aren’t others around), i cant say about their engines, or that either were “live rounds” im sure someone else could fill in these blanks 🙂
