The owner is an associate and friend of mine; he's not lost interest, he tried to get the aircraft to the USA a while back but the cost precluded it. Sadly there is not enough covered storage here at Duxford to keep it out of the weather, and it was never intended that the aircraft would be outside for as long as it has been.
If anyone has an interest in making a viable offer for the airframe, I can pass it on. There has been some interest over the years from a number of individuals in the UK who have seen it outside, but mostly they have wanted it given to them free of charge.
