Thanks Dan.
That's an impressive sole survivor. It will have the size and presence of a Swordfish.
Look at 1:24. Looks like a bit of a bobo on the right hand side of the rudder.
Is the plan for this to fly eventually?

There is also the Air Force Museum Vildebeest project, which they plan to re-start work on shortly. Below from 2012.
