Abstract: As a means to better understanding manifolds with positive curvature, there has been much recent interest in the study of non-negatively curved manifolds which contain points at which all 2-planes have positive curvature. We show that there are generalisations of the well-known Eschenburg spaces and quotients of $sp{h}^{7}xsp{h}^7$ which admit metrics with this property.
