“Just to keep you in the picture, the CAD/Cam’s had a number of inaccuracies in them and these are now being worked on
urgently. We are aiming to have this model available for the end of Quarter 3 2014. Please be aware that this is an estimate only and with the way Far Eastern production is at the moment we cannot give this date as a guarantee.”
