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." For further information, visit
