Thanks John. I’ll let my chums know, hopefully they’ll have seen the article.

The piece was lifted from the current copy of the LAA’s magazine ‘Aviation’. The article is ambiguous and is headed ” Camit ceases production”.

Jabiru Aircraft MD Rodney Stiff, records his sadness that Camit have ceased trading but advises that ‘they’ have 360 engines etc., as mentioned. They are also finding other suitable outlets to stock spares and components.

Perhaps an enquiry to Camit or Jabiru might elicit more precise info,

Not sure of the subtleties here John. Had Camit taken over production of the Jabiru engines completely or do Jabiru still make them as well? I have a Lycoming in the Wonderplane but there are two Jabirus in the hangar who may need the information.
