Very interesting, thanks V2.
That's the Defiant from the Battle of Britain Hall at the RAF Museum. There is actually another one in the UK, near Birmingham, which is mainly a faithfull replica, correct in every detail. Someone posted a link on the forum about it recently.

The replica is at Boulton Pauls factory at Wolverhampton. Not sure what the progress is those piccies were taken in 2000

I went to uni down there (the faculty with all the satellite dishes on top). I started off in Stoke but soon saw the light. I moved to Lipson, then North Hill (Drake's Circus end of Mutley Plain), Crownhill for a while and then by the Greenbank Hospital (now gone), not far from the Wellington pub.
Loved it, walking in to lectures on a sunny day and you can see the sun glimmering off the sea. Fantastic.
I keep meaning to visit, see the old places again. Many a night of drunken debauchery in Kitty O'Hanlon's...
Maybe nice to know, this year the Dutch Airforce museum will get a Brewser Buffalo "replica". I heard It will partly be made with parts of KNIL B339's, so not totally a replica.
Very good to hear, looking forward to seeing the finished restoration.
