Flypaste Forum reports North America has a new Seafire defying gravity. Anyone with more details or pics?

Whoa. That is smashing. If that makes it to Oshkosh, it will be this year's debutante of the year for sure. Forget your ersatz Zeros and Fake-Wulf 190s. This is a connoisseur's warbird. I would pass up a photo shoot with Megan Fox and any two Victoria's Secret models for some alone time with my RB67 and this sweetheart.

I saw this about 10-12 years ago when it was part of the Amjet setup in Minnesota, not to mention 30 years ago in Hamilton, and it has been one of the longest running "it'll fly next year" gags in warbirds. It's one of the few warbird restorations to be on its second paint job before its first flight. But it looks like the time was well spent.
