Cees,
A couple of years ago I met with a guy who was planning to build a Hornet. He had been in touch with a collector in Finland (I think it was here....going from memory here) where a Hornet force landed. It was lying on the airfield for years, being dragged around out of the way. It was eventually destroyed and burned/buried but at least one of the engines was saved. He was looking to ship this back to the UK. He was also in touch with the gentleman in Canada with the centre section looking to get this to the UK. In addition to this all the plans exist with a private collector somewhere in the UK and these were to be used. Haven't been in touch with him for a while so not sure if it has been started or how far he has gone!!!
