Was it restored with the intention of flight?

I believe not. I think we should all be grateful of what Steve has accomplished.

No, despite a report many years ago in Wings magazine saying it was to fly again, I don't believe that has ever been the intention due to rarity, cost, and other factors.

Also the total (apparent) non-existence of ANY engineering drawings, etc., does not help the cause. However most of the AP's exist, but for a potential flying aircraft that is pretty well useless, although it certainly makes identifying small parts a whole lot easier!

Yes, that is absolutely a good reason it will remain static.

The next chapter begins. On a nice sunny Friday afternoon on the North Shore, the Vickers Vincent returned home. Photos to follow.
