Nothing surprises me anymore with this outfit. A press release back in January told us that the granting of their AOC was
imminent and yet 10 months down the line it's still not happened. They trot out the same
PR response everytime " We're continuing to respond with our RRV's"
I dread to think what their balance sheet is looking like, they've been funding 2 aircraft during the majority of that period and only delivering a very limited service. It'd be interesting to divde the charity's total costs with the number of incidents attended to provide a cost per incident figure - I shudder to think what that would be!!
We all know that the CAA would only resist or delay issuing an AOC if there were issues with the operation that still needed resolving - the CAA is a first class regulator and if they see fit not to issue an AOC there'll be a very good reason why.
