Not that Bruce's information really needs confirmation, but Mark Hanna told me he had negotiated its purchase from the store and IIRC it was at Duxford for a while sat in the OFMC hangar where it fooled quite a few people!
I wonder if anyone has any idea who actually made it? It was suggested to me that Feggans Brown had a hand in it but I'm pretty sure they were no longer in business by then.....
