It was only for a few years afrer 2008 that issues were encountered by the next franchisee who had taken over after Williams retired but happily it appears that Calton is reaching the former heights again with the new cases under its new Texan owner.
Even the former franchisee seems to have landed on their feet and are producing flight cases of high standard under the Main Stage brand name.
So the story has a good ending in a way and long may that continue.

Thank you for the clarification. I had forgotten that part of the history of this eminent brand.
