Looking at the Facebook page I would have said the chances of it flying again are pretty slim, any aircraft that has sat around in our climate for 12 years + (more like 20 years) is going to need a lot of money thrown at it to convince the CAA. Deffinately a museum piece but unless it includes dismantling and delivery I doubt many museums would spend that kind of money and the space is another problem of course, when I saw it 7 or 8 years ago I saw quite a bit of external corrosion which is to be expected but I expect a complete restoration would be required, I wonder what spar life it has left? If we had the space the money wasn’t an issue I would be tempted it would make a great ground runner.
