Yes, its no longer a concept on a drawing board. Its working. But it gets to the point where great ideas needs to get buying customers. They've made one under contract for the US Military for surveillance, Electronics Warfare and UAV control platform. Something went wrong. They mothballed it and the UK guys just got it back. Donnington I think where they still have a hangar. But that area is under threat of development for housing. If they run out of prospects, the government will push to close their hangar down.

Maybe they could crowd-source funding to fly it to Tillamook, Oregon.

They just regained control of a NASA satellite that way. Aargh, it be a pirate satellite, now, matey.
