Flamecan - extract from an article on the RN Historic Flight from the Fleet Air Arm Officers' Association News Sheet in March......

"..... Unfortunately, we have had a setback with the work on the Seahawk and the Firefly, which is being undertaken by British Aerospace at Dunsfold Works. As some of you may know, last year BAe announced the closure of Dunsfold scheduled for the latter end of 2000....... it is now therefore less certain that either aircraft will fly out of Dunsfold as originally planned."

So, far from being in the FAA Museum, you can expect to see the Firefly (and Seahawk) on the airshow circuit in due course.
