If anyone is interested or has been following the sighting of James Bayliss being in and around the Wellington area/trialling/training with the Nix, then I can confirm for you all that he is now back in Australia.
Gone home or gone to pack?
Sounds to me to be more like seeing what options he's got over in Australia.
Have asked the question though, so just awaiting the response. I'll let you know when I hear back.
