Sadly there hasn't been much (if any) progress at all for the last couple of years. The aircraft was offered for sale last year, and is rumoured to have now been sold (dunnunda I believe). Sadly various JAR regulations have meant that Stephen Grey, owner of The Fighter Collection was unable to fly single seat twins (at his age), hence the sale of this project and the sale of the Tigercat this year, and the concentration on other restorations (notably the Spitfire and Gladiator this year).
