I think that another problem is that the Indian Tempest II projects are in much worse condition and in fewer numbers than the available Sea Furies. The batch brought in by Ed Jurist from Iraq were in better condition than the various MKII Tempests that I have seen and also people have been using Furies for a number of years. Another stumbling block is probably the Centaurus as the Yanks aren't exactly won over by this powerplant and the RNHF don't have much luck with them either, the only reliable examples (as far as I know) are Ellsworth Getchell's, the ex-OFMC machine when it was here and the example restored in NZ recently and sold to Aus so I remember.
