First Flight panned for 25 May 2024, so it may have already happened. At Duxford:

"On Saturday, May 11th, 2024, following a successful test run earlier in the week, the MJ444 Supporters witnessed the Merlin engine roar to life as part of a fully assembled airframe for the first time. Devin Anscomb, a fortunate individual, found himself seated in the rear cockpit while ARCo's Martin 'Mo' Overall did his utmost to keep 'MJ' grounded!"
