When I toured his "Golden Hill" hangar a couple years ago, Kermit had a yellow Wirraway and a Boomerang project. The Wirraway looked complete and in fine condition, although the outer wings had been removed for storage.

From memory he's had the yellow Wirraway since the early 90s, I can't remember if it was a flyer though. He was nice enough on Facebook to confirm this is indeed his second!

Here's the yeller one two years ago. Looks to be in decent shape, although the fuselage needs re-covered at the very least.
