Does anyone have a flightworthy Beaufighter?

No, and sadly they're not likely to because of issues with the very complex (and unreliable) British-built late-war piston engines like the Hercules. This is the same reason there are no airworthy Typhoons or Tempests.

'Bristol Beaufighter, JM135, is the biggest restoration taken on by The Fighter Collection. Several years of work are behind us and several more are ahead, but steady progress is being made.'

The Hercules was an early-war design; the first 'fighters came out in '41. I suppose one could try an engine swap for something more available....

I could only find information on eight Beaufighter survivors! I saw a reference to one in the U.K. being restored, that was in private hands and to what level they did not say!
