Due to personal circumstances, the PR face of AALO throughout 2012 has been very quiet, leading some to understandably wonder if we'd given up on XS422 … not a hint of it. We chose not to attend any Airshows in 2012, instead concentrating on other PR Projects behind the scenes; Andrew Brodie has been doing sterling work publicising our endeavours, fund-raising & assembling assets for the recently completed November visit to Stennis.
