The substantial remains of G-ANFP were traded with Welsh based Ross Aviation in exchange for Sea Vixen spares, and the Tiger Moth was sold to David Taylor, South Molton, North Devon, 8.99, for restoration to airworthiness and shortly after that to Graham Derek Horn. However full restoration has been initiated only by the new owner, Kevin Crumplin, in 2013 and the aircraft took off again in May 2016. Kevin is an icon in the world of tigermoths famous for bringing the old stuff back up again the way it originally was with no exemption. Kevin has found some sort of a mutual sympathy with Richard Santus who is a keen RAF enthusiast and re-inactor. This led him to sell G-ANFP to him and therefore to extend the arm of the Tiger Moth Training across the Channel. The Tiger is now based and operated at Podhorany Airfield (LKPN).
