Having spent the best part of 11 years in the upper end of the UK's composites industry I was wondering how many other Locosters either are (or have been)working in that field?

I used to work for prodrive on the sports car's composite team, then went to work for a company supplying what used to Jordan F1 there parts. Then decided to leave the industy.

Was said jordan composites company in the Notts area? I visited a place that made rear wings etc for jordan, Think it was Atlas composites?
I was researching my monocoque 3 wheeler folding vehicle concept

I'm not "in the industry" but I just bought some carbon fiber fabric and resin. That's gotta count for something right?
