Bit of deja-vu creeping in. Took nearly the same length of time to organise Airlines of Britain buyout of II back in 1996. LH/LX departed in Jan/Feb 1996 and II entered the Airlines of Britain Group in April 1996.
The irony was those few months where Ian and Graeme had 100% ownership were the best I can recall. It all went downhill from April 1996 onwards....
Anyway good news that both of them are back and hopefully it is onwards and upwards for regional.
