DH.88 Comet "Black Magic" updates?

Fri Aug 12, 2011 8:18 pm

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:
The original DH.88 Comet "Black Magic" was in the process of being restored, I understand that the people who own her are owners of a flight school somewhere in England?
Does anybody know anything about this/ Have updates or Pictures?
It is my understanding that the airplane was for sale at one time... and nothing has been heard since.

Well tonight for some reason the page loaded with aclarity.... or however you spell it. It loaded quickly, shall we say.

Very Cool what's going on. I really enjoyed seeing "Grosvenor House" at the Shuttleworth collection. That was an aviation holy grail moment for me.

The NZ one is coming along slowly, hope to see some good visual progress before Christmas. We will get there eventually but have to many clients projects to deal with, only work on it when there is a little bit of a quiet patch.
I will post soem pics when we have some more progress on things.

The bloke who's building "Black Magic" has registered another dH.88 (replica) project - G-RCSR.
