Tim Inder I sit corrected!!

I think the problem with the Hurri was that the nested spar sections were hexagonal or octagonal and the drawing dies cost a fortune to make. Now that I think more about it I think the old dies were found but were only suitable as a pattern to make new ones. I can't remember who was the brave chappie who bit the bullet and forked out tomake the new ones.
