History of the mk1

Post by Ben »

Just found this website, I thought it made quite interesting reading as to the history of the conception and development of the AW11, including the famed ties to lotus.

I think that was pretty much my point - like a lot of these things, the lotus links have been exaggerated by many people. This seems to give a much more balanced and accurate view.
