Sure hope I'm still around to see that beauty in the air, 2024 is a long way off

Great read. I'm guessing it's cost prohibitive to reproduce the Napier Sabre IIa aero engine. The again, without other Hawker Typhoon's , there is probably no point to it anyhow. I'm sure that's opened the door to marketing plans for reproduction aircraft, both full scale and 2/3 size and other derivatives.
