I am lead to believe the plan was it was originally going to be delivered via Flying Legends but wasn't allowed in UK Airspace as it hadn't been rebuilt to an acceptable standard here... iE no CAA input..

Several others are undergoing rebuild, including in Canada.
Jerry Yeagen the owner of the one in the film put a lot of his collection up for sale recently citing he could no longer afford to do it anymore.. The B-17 and FW190 have already gone, the rest of the fliers were slated for sale too

The BAe one where the engine quit was down to a faulty assembled unit if I remember correctly, not negative G as the cause..
