Gippsland Airvan at a sticky end

Just been reliably informed Gippsland Aeronautics in oz have disbanded the board of directors at an emergency meeting......the chiarman and finance director have both stepped down in frustration at the company's mismanagement and lack of sale..

A sad day for lovers of the type!

I guess the rot set in when they thought it would be a good idea to start building Nomads again ...

Let's hope they don't start building aircraft to the same quality control standards as their 4X4s

On the plus side Mahindra is a financial giant and will have the resources to put into new projects , the culture clash between the new management and staff will be interesting I think.
