Very much a favourite of mine too. Seen them in museums. Would have loved to have seen one flying!. [Come to that, I would have loved to have seen an XB70 fly.....]

Where's the second one? looks like a Scimitar behind it. And yes one type I never saw flying, would've loved to.

Based on the OP's location list seeming to be in order of Pix, I'm gonna say... Schenectady museum 2017. They also list a RN Scimitar.
Note subtle location spelling change
Super subject matter too!

Thanks, just had a look at their website, interesting place. The Scimitar looks to be in good condition.

Fabulous post , fantastic a/c, thanks for putting those up. I'd be very interested in any others.

Anybody ever catch a Vigilante in the UK ?
