There was although, private is a slight stretch of the ownership, as it is owned by the RNAF Museum at Bodo, and was rebuilt by former RNAF F-104 personal, so while civvie registered, there is a strong link to the RNAF.
However, it hasn't flown for a couple of years now and there is supposedly some bang seat issues that need addressing before it flies again. Covid probably reduced the urgency for that, plus the TP that first flew it post restoration, and I think flew it most of the time when it did fly, was
Eskil Amdal who last year suffered several broken vertebrae when he was flying the Sea Fury T.20, and was forced to put it into a field after the engine failed near Duxford, which may or may not mean his days of flying an older type bang seat could be over.
