If you are interested in a list of Seafires worldwide, click on the link below and then scroll to the bottom of the list of Spitfires that will appear on the left hand side of the screen. There are some 13 in various stages of restoration around the world.

I am presently researching the only remaining FR Mk 47, VP 441, which is in the final stages of rebuild to airworthiness in the US.

There was a Seafire III in storage in Hampshire about a year ago but I think its moved on since.

Not sure of its current status or location.

…and the Tim Manna example is going through the final stages of it’s restoration to flying condition somewhere in the midlands, possibly to fly next year if all goes well.

The Flying A Services Seafire was last heard of having it’s fuselage rebuilt in Norfolk.
