Make sure that Pete and Andy (the pilots) are not away at Oshkosh when you
plan to visit.

I know of 2 people in Germany:
N Adam at Niederkruchten (PFA 247-12666, G-BVJN)
D Bosomworth at RAF Bruggen (PFA 247-12611)
As these are registered as PFA projects I assume the builders are intending
to eventually fly them in UK under UK permit to fly.
I believe that people who've actually started building get a list of all
builders from the factory. Mine is built up just by watching the 'New
Projects' announcements in 'Popular Flying' and the new registrations on
the UK register.
I guess the factory would be prepared to put you in touch with people near
you who are already building, if you ask nicely.
Keep dreaming! I too am taking voluntary redundancy shortly and have my
wife's permission for the project! (Ivan said he thought the fact that I
was prepared to give up the day job just to be able to build it seemed a
pretty good ad for the plane.)
cheers
