• The company at the centre of the Iraqi "Supergun" affair which sub-contracted Paul Ashwell is on the brink of going into voluntary liquidation.
Bedford-based abnormal load specialist Michael Cave is meeting creditors on 5 June to decide its future.
Insolvency practitioner Maurice Dorrington says the firm has debts of £500,000 — orders have dropped "considerably" since the outbreak of the Supergun controversy, he adds.
Ashwell himself could be on his way home soon following the recommendation by the Greek prosecution that the case against him should be dropped.
But Peter Goff, of the Friends of Paul Ashwell campaign is not yet satisfied: "It's a step in the right direction — but we haven't got him home yet, and what's going to happen to his truck?"
