I recall reading a while back, some kind of hybrid with an airframe recovered in the pacific, and lots of parts exchanges between UK and Aus (beaufighter?) and that a Boston/Havoc was well on the way in the UK?
Another gap in the museums that would be well filled, any updates or knowledge out there?
Thank you

The Hunt brothers have a Havoc project, although, I am not sure whether it is being worked on, or for sale. The project you were probably referring to though was Boston-Havoc Preservation Trust example, based upon the remains of Boston Z2186. This example has been sold on, as reported on this site, with a substantial wing section having been scrapped. Sad to hear this…
Anyone here any further details of the disposition of Z2186?
Cheers,
Richard
