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 ...

Gippsland Aeronautics reported sold to Indian company.
