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!

the yellow one was close to being a flyer when he bought it....it would need a full go through now to put it in the air now.

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