Number 1, I wish one Short Stirling was left and it was flying.

Second a toss up of the Stuka or TBD
There is at least one Stuka. Can't remember where but ive seen pictures of it.
Its in pieces but I think I read the are plans to re build it though.

There's three. One is at the RAF museum in London, another is at the Chicago Museum and a third is in the Paul Allen collection, which is being restored to flying condition.

My (incomplete) list of of bygone warplanes is:
B-19
Me323
He280
He100
Ar240
Hs129
B-32
KI-102
 
Would the HP.42 count? 3 airframes were used for military transport early-war, until all were destroyed in accidents. (There are pictures of them in camouflage paint schemes, that means they count . . right? please, please, please . . .)
 
The thing I find staggering is that there is only one prototype, you would think companies would keep them for P/R or teaching reasons.
 
The YFM1 Airacuda
Vought F5U
Douglas TBD
Avro Arrow
Martin Baltimore
Martin Maryland
Achi D3A (Val)
Nakajima B5N (Kate)
Republic XF-12 Rainbow
Republic XF-72
McDonnell XP-67 "Moonbat"
(I would put the Douglas XB-42 and XB-43 on here, but I read that they are in storage awaiting resoration.)

Actually guys there are three complete original Ju 87 Stukas. One in Chicago, one in London, and one in Seattle (that is being restored to airworthy status).

I have seen two, the ones in London and Chicago. See my pics below.
