Some of the guys are there -some have left for other ventures. The Beaufighter was sold to an Australian client. The AVRO 504 is underway for her owner .
The D.H 2 was started as a project a number of years ago as a speculative venture -hopefully there is a buyer out there who has a similar vision.

Guys are still there, now under their own company banner, but Tim is also around. Lots going on, but a private team with clients who wish to keep things to themselves. News will appear as and when the guys feel it’s right to disclose. 🙂

Last I heard all the guys had been laid off and Tim was there on his own, that was back end of last year.
A shame. Does he still have the Beaufighter project? I seem to remember that the Viscount left a while back. He was working on the Chilton replica and just finishing the Demon when I was there last – since both are now flying and based at OW, I would assume that the DH-2 is now the only active project.

Many times they have built the rudder of something to get someone interested enough to fund the rest!! Thats what they did with the Dove.

The last time I visited, about 5 years ago, they had a DH-2 project on the back-burner.

According to the Ad, they have done the basics on the cupola/fuse and the rudder and have an original Gnome Monosoupape – I can’t post the link but if you go to Barnstormers.com and search ‘most recent warbird’ you’ll see the pics Dave.
I wonder how they are getting on with their Avro 504 – it was coming along nicely last time I saw it!
…and that was about 4 years ago!

There was something at a DH Moth rally at Woburn many years ago about building a DH2. I think they had some bits, A prop I remember. As normal they where after funding. How far they got with it I dont know.
