Other recent (Jan.15) articles on this site mention work being done on a number of aircraft including P-47Ds and Ki-61 Tonys.

Oxcart … I guess I missed something when reading the articles. You’ve provided a quote but I can’t find those exact words. The section I read says ” there were 3 Beaufighter nose assemblies being constructed, one for the HARS flying project, one for the Darwin Aviation Museum and one for a UK based museum.”
That may not necessarily mean a whole Beau will result nor that it is coming to a U.K location, simply implies it is being funded by a U.K.- based entity. On the other hand, are you quoting directly from another paragraph I have overlooked in their reports?
You’re right, Consul! I guess I read what I wanted it to say!

An excellent recommendation, thanks for the heads up. There’s a lot of exciting stuff going on down under…Tonys, Beaufort, Beaufighter, P-47s, Demon…and a great website steer to catch up on it all.
Don’t forget the Vickers Vildebeest ( still in the Antipodes 🙂 )
