The WALL STREET JOURNAL for November 26, 1993, reports that Hughes is
selling its Rediffusion Simulation Ltd. subsidiary to Thompson CSF
S.A.  of France (yes, the very same formerly associated with VPL and
Wave- front, through its Thompson S.A. parent).  This includes its
game and amusement rides activities, once the inventor (with
LucasArts) of the magnificent but too expensive Mirage simulator ride.
Hughes is keeping that portion of the company that provide air traffic
control and training applications.

And so the March of Progress continues....
