If you
LIMIT how many can lauch then they will not be falling out of the sky.
It also depends on the TIME FRAME they want to recreate. If it is 1942/43 then they are out of the question. If it is 1944 then they would have been used.
If between June 44 and then ext 3-4 months they launched 9,521 that is about 80-100 per day = 10-15 per hour - so maybe allow no less than 5 mins between allowed launches.
Now the person ( Like on a bomb run ) has to calibrate the V1 for distance, fuel and direction so it runs out of fuel at the spot you want it to fall into the ground.
Once it is launched have a special DOT show up once it is in radar range so you can track it and send some planes after it or have local AAA try to shoot it down.
Just some interesting ideas.

The V-1 (also known as a flying bomb, buzz bomb or doodlebug) was a pilotless monoplane that was powered by a pulse-jet motor and carried a one ton warhead. They were launched from a fixed ramp and travelled at about 350mph and 4,000ft and had a range of 150 miles (240km). It was 8 metres (25 feet) long and had a wingspan of about 5.5 metres (20 feet).
Germany launched its new weapon from Pas-de-Calais on the northern coast of France, on 12th June, 1944. The first ten failed to reach the country but on the following day one landed in Essex. Over the next few months 1,435 hit south-east England. These attacks created panic in Britain and between mid June and the end of July, around one and a half million people left London.
Germany fired 9,521 V-I bombs on southern England. Of these 4,621 were destroyed by anti-aircraft fire or by RAF fighters such as the new turbojet fighter, the Gloster Meteor. An estimated 6,184 people were killed by these flying bombs. By August only 20 per cent of these bombs were reaching England.
