Curious that the O.P. has not made any further contributions to this thread, I see a small red flag waving on the horizon.
Maybe his company has sent him to swim with the fishes in the Indian Ocean!

Web Presence

Its worth bearing in mind that RW has more of an adverse web presence this week than he has had over the last few weeks.
This is largely due to further information coming to light.
It appeared that there was an active campaign, intent on cleaning up the first page of Google, and it nearly worked.
Now surely that serves to forewarn unsuspecting potential clients / victims.
It seems there is far less sympathy now then in times gone by.
Would this perhaps put others off coming forward?

I suppose for every Renier prepared to come forward there is a strong probability that there are more who won't for fear of hurt pride and ego.

Little stunts like this go along way towards making him look like he is trading on the right side of the law?

very interesting

I have no connection to Jon Hilton or to the company he is fronting, but would be very cautious of the "invitation" to obtain recommendations from his contacts.


Why should they be in bed with Mr Weaver.

Rob Weaver

Apart from the listed associations of Captain Weaver (as he like to call himself), when he was supposed to fly to Gloucester to collect the C206 and for the Ferry to start, he cancelled coming to the UK with the offered reason, hold your breath: "The French Navy asked him to fly a search and rescue mission for them".

He then organized a wonderful guy (ex BA Captain) to fly with me from Gloucester to Quimper, and who has subsequently become a very good friend. So the one upshot of the Weaver fiasco is I gained a new friend with 'Chuck Yeager' level experience.

What should have been another 'red flag' was when we arrived in Quimper, Capt Weaver could not find his trailer in a trailer park at a place called Le Bois Soleil WITHOUT using his SatNav. The following morning he could not find the Airport without using his SatNav. This repeated itself 4 times. Imagine being unable to drive from yourhouse to your local field without using a SatNav EVERYTIME.

Upstanding

Sort of begs the question, why would somebody with such a reputation to look after allow himself to be tainted with an association to Captain Weaver?

Rob Weaver

Because neither I nor the guy who did us a favor knew about Capt Weaver at the time. I was ignorant and misled by the Agent who recommended Capt Weaver and the stand-in guy (my new friend) did all a favor agreeing to fly with me (rookie pilot) to deliver the Aircraft to Quimper.

No shortage of other folks having problems with Mr Weaver.

However, for the last 18 months we've referred them directly to the police - whether principals or their lawyers.

With an apparent long term campaign to hoover up after his reputation I moved this latest complaint into the BizJet and GA forum. I thought it time that folks know that the traditional M.O still goes on and I'm in contact with the poster.

Agent In Cahouts?

misled by the Agent who recommended Capt Weaver
If this agent is putting Weaver forward, then surely it would serve as a deterrent to put his name into the picture?

A link would have been helpful. I see something different.

Perhaps replace "action" with "advice" ??

Is the Sat Nav you mentioned the one talked about at length in the previous thread? You know, the one that was allegedly on permanent loan from a lady in the US.

"The French Navy asked him to fly a search and rescue mission for them".
That made me laugh!

Robert Weaver has two major faults, and one big problem.

  • He has deluded himself and others into believing that he is a gifted pilot - something he certainly is not. A number of his escapades demonstrates this admirably, most notably of course his crashing of a brand new Sceneca when flying it illegally.
  • He just can't help himself when it comes to stealing money obtained under false pretenses.It's in his nature.
  • His biggest problem though, apart from trying to clean up his web history, is that he will never be in a position to get a proper job in aviation because nobody in their right mind would ever hire him. His only option therefore is to remain self employed using the name of his tin pot Skyferry LLC company.

I cant help but agree but the sad part is, that same tin pot company is an effective medium for depriving unsuspecting individuals out of large sums of cash!!!!
