The Shuttleworth Collection in England has some of the aircraft from that film in flying condition.
They also have a working Blériot XI — the world’s oldest flying aircraft:

If the weather is good they fly these for the public every summer. It is a wonderful show.
This was one of my favorite movies growing up. It made me want to get into aerospace stuff. This and star wars.
