Does anyone know the current status / location of this Hawker Biplane project, and its provenance?

Thanks for the replies, rather bizzarely, this photo is on an Australian website which claims it to be a current Demon project in Queensland?, and seperately there are claims on the warbirdz forum that the same pic was used to offer a Demon Project out of the UK to an Australian?
All very bizzare?

I remember Guy Black sending me that same photograph 20 years ago, as it was a Boulton Paul-built Demon, to ask if the Boulton Paul archives could provide any help for its restoration. I was able to say, that, apart from a couple of negatives showing brand new Demons outside the Pendeford factory. there was no mention of Demons in the archives at all ! There is now a small windows of opportunity to have the Demon, the only Boulton Paul-built aircraft currently airworthy, fly over the factory where it was made, which is now of course empty and living on borrowed time. Can anyone suggest who to contact if we wanted to make this happen ?

Looks like the Hawker parts that went into the Demon. That know lives at Shuttleworth. It has been flying for some years.
