Spitfire TMk8

Hi, I was just wondering if there is any news on MT818 the TMk8 Spitfire that came back from the U.S.A. a few years ago.
Thanks in advance for any info:

PPS did upload this video a couple of years ago of it having gear retraction tests: –

No more videos have been posted to date from PPS, but hopefully, things are progressing well with the overhaul, as has been indicated by the above posts.

Cheers

I know that they have had to carry out a lot of work and source parts or have them made etc because it is very much a one off even though it is a Spitfire,
perhaps Tom can enlighten us with news?.

Thanks for the info guys.
Would be nice to see her back where she belongs. One of the first Spitfires I can remember seeing it was in its pale blue racing colours then
