I know this is an old thread... but what a journey. Donald Williamson of PRODUX fame is still making a name for himself. Along with Andrew Parsons, they head up a company called AXSportAviation. This from their website

"AXSport Aviation was founded by Donald Williamson, a talented hands-on engineer who designed and manufactured aluminium bicycles after competing in cycling and motocross at international level in his youth.

As carbon epoxy composite technology developed, Donald saw the unique advantages of these materials in the manufacture of strong, lightweight structures. He became an expert in composite processing and developed a range of carbon fibre bicycles and components.

Donald’s lifelong passion for flying and composites led him to meet Andrew Parsons, an aeronautical engineer specialised in composite structures, and together they designed and built the tandem seat AXSport aerobatic LSA. With an all-carbon, fully aerobatic aircraft as their test bed, they are now focussed on the development and manufacture of constant speed propellers for non-type certified aircraft.

They manufacture some serious composite VP propellers for aviation applications as well as have built a couple of their own locally developed aerobatic aircraft.
