[Trevor Legate]

May I dive in and say thanks to Brent Fennimore for forwarding Mike Hall's comments.
I had the pleasure of many conversations with Mr.Hall circa 1997 and had high hopes for the company if he had been driving a desk at AC - sadly it proved not to be, for reasons alluded to within the statement.
As someone with an interest in this matter, in order that I will be able to get my facts right in my next Cobra book, I am delighted that such a clear statement has been made and pleased it came from Mike. If only more people/companies were so honest and forthcoming, life would be so much simpler (CAV etc). It can only reflect well on the company concerned.

It had been my intention to refrain from commenting about the manufacturing issue, even when I read comments I know to be somewhat 'optimistic', shall we say.
As one of the recent UK contributors to this site, I admit I would be more than delighted to see AC resurect itself, if that was possible. My only regret is that this link was not forged at least fifteen years ago, a great opportunity lost.
