Skeptic,
It is sad that this particular airframe that has been embraced by the warbird loving public in the UK has perished ......... however, there are other Fireflies left - 2 others at Yeovilton in the museum, one in the U.S in flying trim (Oshkosh Grand Champion if I am not mistaken), possibly one each in 'flyable' trim in Canada & Australia and quite a few others worldwide in various locations mainly in 'static' condition. The Swedes recently have placed two Mk.1's up for sale, both ex.-RN a/c. There is hope for the future, but quite whether the UK will ever be fortunate enough to benefit from the hard work and perseverance shown by RNHF over the past decades remains to be seen.
