Google 'G-BBBK' and 'G-BBEF' for details of two previous fatal accidents to aircraft owned by Murgatroyd - he doesn't come across as a particularly responsible operator.
if my memory is correct one of his ‘Flying School’ aircraft crashed at Caernarfon, the pilot was shocked and dismayed to find the aircraft was not insured. This earned a ban from operating from Blackpool and forced his move to Barton. One can only wonder why Peel Holdings didn’t make diligent enquiries as to why he was evicted from Blackpool before allowing him to set up shop at Barton, sorry Manchester City Airport!!
Be lucky
