Basically what was surviving was the centre section of the wing and part of an outboard wing. The aircraft was quite well picked over at Terrace and bits went all over the place.
The price being asked for the remains at the time of the Aeroplane Monthly article was far in excess of it's real value - since then I believe it's owner has died so it's very much in limbo at the moment. As for engines, the are a pair in the U.K in good condition and also a couple abroad from a wreck site which are currently preserved .
Effectively the isn't really very much left of the breed but if all the parts could be brought together the posibility of a good static machine could avail itself-lets live in hope!!
