I don't doubt that folks have no problems with them as long as you stick to their Commanments for the Privilige of Doing Business with Them. I was very miffed about having to be told this after almost 4 weeks and the fact that I had to initiate contact!! Mike is also right about the VAT exclusion. Also, I received a very rude reply from Nigel Hannant, who must be a complete idiot, telling me how only 2 customers in his sale "did not comply"( his wording!!) and then "they apologized and increased their orders" !!!! Apologized? For sending in an order???? I will send you his reply to me if you want a good laugh! NO, I won't do business with this type of company. Todd, you seem to feel as I do; Hannants thinks they are doing you a favor by accepting your order. You would think after sending me a confirmation saying my order was in process, combined with the fact that I was not aware that there was a minimum amount of regular-priced goods required with sale merchandise and the fact that I had waited almost 4 weeks with no communication, they would have said "in the interest of customer service, lets process the order" and have a satisfied customer. They are obviously not business-savy enough to keep customers. It is a shame as they have a pretty good line of OT stuff, but I can't recommend doing business with them.

I wonder how much interest is out there about this kit? I know Contrail no longer exist but the masters of Gordon Sutcliffe's kits seem to have passed to an operation called Sanger. Several of the old Contrail kits have appeared under this label. Including the Blackburn Perth and Iris and I think the HP42 airliner. Sadly the Staaken hasn't. Does anyone know anything about the Staaken kit or Sanger or if the masters still exist?

Todd, you seem to feel as I do; Hannants thinks >they are >doing you a favor by accepting your order. John: Nigel Hannant is probably not an idiot but with a big entity, you are unlikely to always receive personal attention. Hannants have been very good at building up the size of their business, which gives them a lot of muscle buying from manufacturers. Their profit derives from obtaining good discounts from manufacturers and passing some of this onto their customers. Their size also permits them to offer a huge range. Thus, there is no reason for them to "friendly" - they compete through price and range of product. There's also no reason for them to be rude because politeness costs nothing. Buy from them or don't but just recognize the pros and cons.

Buy from them or don't but just recognize the pros and cons. > from what I gather, it is Nigel. I've heard from a few people who have had similar experiences of 'you do it my way or not at all'. I get the impression he is the sort who claims they don't suffer fools gladly. My only experience of direct dealing was a 'discussion' as to whether or not they had attended a certain show. he said 'No', I've got the kits & credit swipes that say 'Hannants', but he still thought they had never been there !! As Michael says, politeness costs nothing. Only problem is (In the Uk) they have a near monopolyon a lot of good things. My experiences of Colindale are better than those of others however. One point to anyone going there - if you want something in particular, call ahead & they'll get it from Lowestoft.
