My understanding is that they aren't planning to fly it at any point. I haven't heard specifically why, but I suspect that the aircraft has a very complicated hydraulic system (what with having all of the folding bits for carrier use), and that the limited restoration budget available is better spent on the Lysander and Boly.

Speaking of the Lysander, it now has its wings on. I was very surprised to see that the wings are painted in the yellow/black striped "bumblebee" paint scheme, rather than the night camouflage. The black and yellow paint scheme is the authentic paint scheme for this particular aircraft, and I applaud CWH for "daring to be different" in their choice of paint schemes for the aircraft.
