Since there are a few of these projects around, it would be interesting to know how complex of a restoration effort was required compared to a Hurricane or Sea Fury. Also, what commonalities is shared with the two types. The only thing I don't like about it is it only has one seat.

A real good comparison for complexity is the Typhoon.
Check out Ian Slater on YouTube "Typhoon Legacy". His series goes very in depth to this Hawker machine.
His project is pretty amazing.
