Thank you for the info Palma.
I was thinking it might have been possible after seeing the Bristol 171 as restored by redbull getting flight approval. According to an infographic on their site she first flew in 1957!
Perhaps if as much attention was devoted to a Skeeter it could similarly receive a potential exception ..with new blades of course.
