Excellent video, love the sound of the FW190 and did I see a Lysander!?

Yup, there was a Lysander there alright. I never knew any were still flying .

To be fair, even though Luthier said it was WIP, it's nice to know where it will be going, or at what level of WIP is WIP. Adding a couple of bushes, or replacing textures or modifying the color palate entirely? Once could say both of these extremes are WIP. But which is more indicative of the final product?

I believe a Lysander was undergoing restoration in Canada - perhaps that was it.

I have a suspicion that Oleg is holding back on some stuff, rather than showing his best now. That way, when it does come out, it will generate more publicity and outside interest. It's worth remembering that only a very small proportion of the potential purchasers of SoW:BoB will be looking at his WIP releases.

In any case, if it is not as advanced as Oleg would have liked it to be by now, I hope he has the nerve (and backing) to stick with his plan, and not get forced into a premature release. The last thing we want is a repeat of the Silent Hunter 5 fiasco - though I suspect that SoW:BoB is further advanced than that is, even now...
