Hurricane P3966. The Last Of The Few

Has anyone got and info on how the return to flight of Hurricane P3966, shot down 26th August 1940 flown by P/O J. A. (Paddy) Hemingway?

I know its been stated to fly in 2024 and the last I had seen anywhere was the fuselarge, center section and wing spars were well under way.

Looking forward to this flying.

I’m sure that they found the data plate somewhere in the hole!
