There's a replica Flycatcher on show at the Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeovilton, Somerset, UK. Owner flew it regularly until a few years ago but donated it to the museum when air shows offered too few engagements to support it financially; I believe he's the son of the designer of the 1920s original - name of Fairey.

Very nice it is, too.
