I did a post on Facebook about this the other week. In the UK we have:
MT818 (T.8 prototype – not flown yet)
MJ627
ML407
PT462
PV202
SM520
In Germany: MJ772.
In the US: TE308 (undergoing rebuild).
In New Zealand: MH367.
In the UK there are at least two/three Tr.9 projects on the go. There is another in Australia.
If you want to be pedantic, you can include ML417 in the list, since that was restored back to a single-seater in the 1980s…!

You could add PV202 at Duxford.

hi, morning,
apologies guy’s, my first sighting at 1520 was only a fleeting one, information gleaned from sbs, then when I saw a second one as a 2 seater I never connected it as the same one. As a matter of interest how many 2 seater’s have we flying in the uk? there were/are MJ627, ML407,PT462, that I,ve seen also BS410 yet to fly, any more?.
regards,
jack…

I also saw this Spitfire tonight flying over Arreton Down at about the same time Jack ! I would say that it was SM520.

Same height, same number of seats, same location, same direction…maybe it was the same one?
