Glad to see that they're making good use of the things that they find...

I'm sure I read a thread earlier, er, last year that all Wombleton inhabitants had been forced to leave when new owners arrived.

Swift gave up the big hangar at Bagby when the lease expired a few months ago. They'd had Wombleton for quite a while.

Seems a bit perverse for a company who claim to be breathing new life into GA in this country, and who's future relies on the GA community purchasing their products. So they've saved Wombleton for themselves then not for GA as a whole.

Just out of interest have they sold any of the Slingsbys? And is there any progress on their Wonderplane that has featured (on paper) at one or two of the exhibitions in the past couple of years?
