Company Formed for Murphy Support
Aims to supply parts to existing owners following the factory's liquidation auction.
A British Columbia builder-assist company has purchased the parts inventory and some production equipment from defunct Murphy Aircraft and has begun an initiative to assume support for the fleet of built aircraft. BRC, which has build centers in Canada, the U.S. and Croatia, is inviting Murphy owners to register on its website to gain access to more information about parts and support. There are no plans so far to resume kit production.
Last month a court ordered auction was held at Murphy Aircraft’s factory in Chilliwack, B.C. and all the physical assets of the 40-year-old kit company were sold to cover back rent on the facilities. The company, which is owned by a Chinese billionaire, was in financial trouble after the owner was jailed in China on fraud charges. Funding ran out for Murphy, which was intending to produce kits for a new aircraft called the Radical, as well as maintaining inventory for finished Rebels, Moose and Renegades. The acquisition does not include Murphy aircraft drawings or plans to manufacture its complete aircraft designs.
