I'm just wondering, is the Ardmore based Warbirds/Motat Ryan flying again following its engine failure a year or so ago?

I understand that the Ryan flew for sometime following repairs to its engine. Unfortunately ,recently it has been damaged again in a confrontation with a tractor and fence posts and has suffered significant damage.Bent tail plane ,wings and things .Another rebuild hence forth.

Tractor training required at Warbirds then? That incident happened a while ago now, repairs must be nearly complete?

Be nice to see her airborne again. Is she likely to stay in her NEIAF scheme, or will she reappear looking different?
What are the chances of seeing another ST in NZ? I know of at least one person who is extremely keen to have an airworthy example, and even has a stash of components ready to go just in case. I'd love to have one personally.
