Not strictly true. Jerry did have plans to bring it to the UK en-route to the USA for a summer display season, had the restoration been finished as was originally envisaged the year before. It could have flown here on it's US registration for up to 6 months quite easily, but, it wasn't finished in time, and more critically, Jerry had run out of money to bring it here, as can be seen by it's virtually being grounded or sold within a few months of it being out back together in the USA. The lack of money was the real reason it didn't come to the UK.
