The factory in Poland where Kirkham bodies are built used to manufacture Russian Mig fighter planes.
Well, there you go. I learn something new every day! Having not been too immersed in the Kirkham, I never knew that the body was fabricated over there.

That is a great story in fact, the privitization of a defense industry and its product skills and the transformation to make something a bit more useful. A great masters thesis for the MBA who is a car nut.
