It's only the one and I've seen plenty of airframes for sale over recent years

Probably an instructional airframe or damaged.

The Gr7 is fiberglass. The Gr1 nose, who knows!
Certainly no need for them now - if you're a teenager who wants to be God/a Harrier pilot now, you'll be hoping one of you parents is Italian/Spanish/American/Indian!

That reminds me of a Wokka that was on display with people getting tours through it in Leuchars airshow last year.
It was plastic

There were loads of people running round photographing everything in sight at the show and I had to laugh and point it out to at least two people when I walked past them waiting for a clear field view of it. Most embarrassed they were at their gaf

Is that the one that's part Wokka, part HGV?!
I think the last "real" (complete, as they had the "Com-rod" fuselage until recently) airframes they used were the Mk XVI Spits now with the BBMF for spares (x1) & restoration (x1).
