Hello, Jos - and others,
Europa Club sent out a message to its members two days ago, with basically the
same information that today appears in the EAA Hotline electronic newsletter:
New Company Acquires Europa Management (International) Assets
Europa Management (International) Ltd. assets have been acquired by a new
company,
Europa Aircraft (2004) Ltd., which will continue to develop and sell the Europa
line of aircraft headquartered in Kirkbymoorside in North Yorkshire, England.
J.S. Tucker, former Chairman and Managing Director of Slingsby Aviation
Ltd., leads the new company. Tucker was instrumental in developing the Slingsby
T67 Firefly-the first UK-certified composite aircraft. Joining Tucker are former
Europa Management (International) employees Andy Draper, (Technical
Development);
John Wheeler (Sales); and Roger Bull (Parts and Logistics). The initial
focus is meeting the needs of existing Europa builders for components necessary
to complete their projects. The company asks that builders inform them as
soon as possible what their needs are in the coming months. "News of the
formation
of Europa Aircraft (2004) Ltd has been received with great enthusiasm by
builders and Europa buffs throughout the world," said Wheeler. "It will
obviously
take some little time for the new company to get the situation sorted out
but we have tremendous confidence in the future of the aircraft and our
company."
Regards,
Svein
A225 - now in Norway

Same thing here Jac,
It seems to be good news. It would be really nice to know what we missed.
