Just one final thing I was told that Hankins owned the Orbit lesiure centre chain Dose any one know of this Howzat
That would not surprise me as I remember only seeing them at Orbit in the early 80s.
Another question someone may have answer to, did Stern Meteor get assembled at Hankin facility in Newcastle? I know that Aust. Meteors were assembled in Newcastle. Economies of scale would indicate that they were assembled on an existing production line.
Weren't the Meteor's done by Leusire and Allied?
