Vultee, Vought, Brewster dive bomber survivors?

How many obscure WWII dive bomber survivors out there, Vultee, Vought, Brewster, etc.?

Any specific types for which you're searching?

One Vought Vindicator at NMNA

Several Brewster SB2A remains bumping around in the dark (including almost completed static rebuild at NMNA)

I'm guessing the known Vultee Vengeance population is around 2 or 3 right now. Restoration of 1 or 2 slowly evolving in Oz.

Is that what you wanted to know?

Hi

As far as I am aware the sole survivors are the complete example at Camden NSW with Harold Thomas and the remains of two other RAAF examples being restored at Wangarratta Vic Australia - I would love to know of others but I don't think there are any
