As far as I know "Golden Age TV Recreations" co-owner Paul Marshall is working on it and I think Dicky Howett too. You can find both their email addresses on the Golden Age site http://www.golden-agetv.co.uk/contactus.php .

I've been in touch with Paul Marshall recently and no, Project Vivat has not been completed. There are various reasons but best for Paul to explain himself.

Remember that the coronation is staged about a year after the accession to the throne. The new monarch rules from the moment the old one dies. The 60th anniversary of the coronation was last week.

Paul told me that he took a Marconi Mk2 camera down to London to demonstrate in the presence of Her Majesty as part of the coronation celebrations.
