    I'll say they are - Airborne became Van Nicholas if I'm not mistaken.

    Nearly - Airborne European distributor picked up the Airborne designs to form Van Nicholas after Airborne withdrew from the European market. Frames are made by HiLight titanium in China.
    Zeppelin was the original Airborne frame design going back 11 years - the frame sold for about £600 when new so don't go paying over the odds.

    I was working in the bike trade for a short while at the time (between jobs) - managed to convince the shop owner to bring in the Airborne ti frames direct and he sold a shed-load before everyone else caught on.
