Unfortunately that project seemed to die out as personal tragedies diverted the attention of the main driving force with the project who subsequently left the forum. Its a shame because I would love to see a Whirlwind IRL.
Sorry to hear that Scott. I remember Mick's passing, but thought Tony and the rest of the guys were carrying on. I used to find it inspirational logging onto the old WIX and seeing messages whizzing around talking about how they were going to find bits, restore bits, fabricate bits. Had a real sense of seeing history in the making. Or should that be history being re-created? Either way, it would have been great to see. Maybe one day, eh?

You never know, I for one would love to see one fly. I think the Whirlwind is probably the most beautiful of the British twin-engined fighters.
