Do Airworthy Ju 88 Remain?

If not, it is a shame. I reckon it would cost millions USD to restore some of the wreck specimens that do exist, as well as reproducing one to original specifications from scratch. Just thought that with the number of restoration projects that have been completed in the decades since the end of the war, and the number of projects at some level of progress currently, an enthusiast would have made restoring/reproducing a Ju 88 his or her labor of love.

There is an original JU-88 nightfighter at the RAF Hendon museum in north London that was flown over to the UK from Norway by it's defecting pilot in 1943 but I very much doubt that it is still airworthy after all these years.

There's a photo of it here (I believe it is Werk No.360043 / PJ876)...
