It seems to me like they don’t have the cash to purchase one hence why they are selling aircraft and essentially downsizing in the mean time. It’s an interesting time for them because it will likely be make or break, I feel it will be the latter. Operating it at Moorabbin will be a huge hurdle in itself!
They have indeed moved over to Devonport. Something to do with Devonport airport approaching them for business or something like that. Probably has the 1900 involved as well. Either way, good move I feel.
Hopefully Colin and Dave have a remarkable plan to get it all happening. It has the potential to be very successful.
Yes all starting to make a bit of sense now with the changes lately. Their website is currently going through a change. Says they're getting a face lift so I guess all will be revealed soon with what they plan. Be very interesting to see what they've got planned and how it goes for them, Rather interesting choice of aircraft for them aswell.
Oh I see, Noticed signs around the Tasfast shed at Wynyard that they've moved to Devonport. It's been quite different not hearing the old chieftains fly over my house late every night!
