As you may or may not know I was the researcher for the RAF 22 Sqn SAR Sea King due in the first half, I have also done a bit of work for a couple of releases in the second half and these were stalled with the problems at Corgi. They are now confirmed as going ahead and the AA range is getting the backing of Hornby.

While I can't confirm this positive sounding news for sure, I've heard rumblings about new mold development with some surprising twists as to product selections from the old Corgi. If these are being carried out to fruition by the new owners next year should be an interesting time for diecast aircraft collectors. Sorry, but I can't be more specific for now.

At least it is some positive news.

Nothing apart from what I am working on but from what I can make out the full programme should be back running shortly.

Thanks Sniper, perhaps you have a contact in the "New look Corgi" that would considering coming on board forums such as MHII just as William does for HM.

As this very important brand revitalises itself the concept of direct feedback with its customers should not be overlooked. What a great time for Hornby to get a reputation for being proactive instead of the perception we have of the old regime - surely there is someone in a senior marketing position that is a also a collector that would relish such interraction? I can only hope so but the limited info you have passed on is encouraging and appreciated.

Corgi is the backbone of my collection with (last count) 262 pieces and I want more!!
