Default DH 88 Comet replic

This is probably an appropriate place to ask my next question.
About four years ago we stumbled across an airfield Just south of the town of Gore with a museum housing a good collection of Dehavilland aircraft and a workshop complex nearby where some interesting things were being done. Somebody was manufacturing Tiger Moth fuel tanks, which is no simple task, there was a wooden propellor being made, IIRC a Stinson getting some work done but the most astonishing thing was a Dehavilland 88 Comet replica which appeared to be well on the way to completion.
I was hoping to drop in on my recent NZ tour but didn't get down that far.
Does anyone know what the current situation is as regards the Comet? I would be very interested to know what has become of it.

David
