The remains of the Osprey are substantial as I've heard, and in a future restoration additional parts preserved from Hawker Hart could be used to. Who knows what the next project will be for the restoration team that have just finished restoring the SK14 trainer and are almost ready with the Heinkel HD 35. I hope that they have to opportunity and will to go for the Osprey.

Paul Coggan have also mentioned the Hawker Hart B4 remains in AM but no one seems to be able to give any information regarding identity, from were it was recovered etc so that an identity could be fixed. In Paul's column the aircraft was mentioned as a B4 (not B4A or B4B) which could mean that it was one of the original 3 purchased in England. The rest were built in Sweden.
