That was the rumour, but it was quite a while ago now (pre-Covid?) and well......I'd have thought that something more in terms of definitive details would have emerged?
After 30 odd years 'in progress' and as said above, I can also remember it arriving at DX in boxes, I doubt I'll ever see it fly (or the ex-Halton Beau now in Aus)
Considering that the RAF flew them until 1960, its one of those remarkable, why are there no more left situations, in terms of whole examples, and parts sources.
