Has anyone succeeded in making a steam plane recently?

Don't know of any recent full-sized aircraft. One of our model club members built & flew a steam-powered model aircraft a few years ago. http://www.flysteam.co.uk/recent.htm

It was featured in the last TV series that Fred Dibnah made before he died.
