Does anyone know anything more about the project at the website below:

I’ve politely e-mailed them but haven’t had a reply.

Daz–
Tom Dietrich and friends (the Tiger Boys) at Guelph still have the Hurricane project, but the biggest single piece is a Merlin engine, most of the rest being boxed-up in storage. I’ve seen the engine, which is kept in one of Tom’s hangars at Guelph Airpark. Hopefully another deep-pocketed partner will emerge to restart the Hurricane project…until then the Tiger Boys are keeping busy with various Moths, etc. (Tiger Moths, and also Tom’s personal Thruxton Jackaroo, being the origin of the Tiger Boys nickname)…
Cheers

A quick google revealed the following
