The operation came to Christchurch ex Texas but the front man's name eludes me although it was germanic in origin. He set up operation in a rental hangar at ex-RNZAF base Wigram and things were very erratic....staff didn't get paid regularly and supply delivery and payments were the same. Speaking to staff I was told it was all very hit or miss as in "what'll we do today".

Eventually he was arrested by immigration as he tried to skip the country to avoid extradition to Texas on matters of an insurance fraud nature relating to a suspicious hangar fire in the first location of the Fw190 project. The extradition eventually took place.

A disposal auction was held on site and all manner of peoples descended and gobbled up all the debris.
