Nipper2 - The "recurring names" I assume you are referring to are the owners of Longmint Group and were the founders of Erinaceous. They ceased having any involvement in Erinaceous from November 2007. They remain owners and directors of Longmint Group and its subsidiaries, including Fast. The key people in Albemarle formerly worked for Erinaceous but have no connection whatsoever, formal or informal, with Longmint or its owners. As said in my original post, Fast are as concerned as other operators at Shoreham at recent developments.
Sliding Doors - It is easy to repost old press cuttings but do not believe everything you read in the press. Some facts stated are true, some out of context and misleading, and some are simply untrue. At some stage the full story of Erinaceous will be told, and it will surprise many people who were not involved but have relied only upon press articles. My statement that there is no connection between Albermarle and Longmint Group is correct.
