Any news on the FW-189 restoration?

Hello,

Question: Since Paul Allen purchased the FW-189 from the UK, has it been actively being worked on? It has been a long time since I heard or saw any news on this special warbird.

Regards,

Was wondering the same since P Allen got it.

Like most of his collection projects, we will probably hear from it when it close to being done.

I only hope they will get it in the air a few times & not go directly static like the 190D

Would love to see this aircraft restored, can see it in the "too hard" basket though

As stated many times before, if VULCAN is involved, please donot hold your breath! They hear a completely different set of drums than everyone else, as far as being in the 'too hard' basket, remember who owns it and who else has enough money to have EXACT COPIES of NAA P-51 wiring manufactured so his Upupa is 100% correct? Why it's the same guy who built the 'Dungeon of Doom and gloom' @ MoF.

Had a bit of a search around and found this link, although a year old now I am still pleasantly surprised.
