Looks like he's had another stay since the above. Certainly a very murky character.
Disgraced former Blackpool Airport pilot busted over £80k flight simulator scam

Craig Seville, 46, had several successful aviation businesses, and flew around the world with his former employers DHL. He also ran The Flight Academy from
Blackpool Airport.
Between 2010 and 2012, Seville splashed out on a professional flight simulator, valued at over £100,000 for use in his flight school. However during this time he fell into financial difficulties and used the equipment as security against a chattel mortgage to be secured against the flight simulator with an investment firm.
However Seville's difficulties did not end there. Approximately 12 months down the line, the pilot needed further cash and convinced one of the students of the flight school to loan him money.
Seville, of Manchester Road,
Rossendale, offered the flight simulator as security for this loan even though by virtue of the earlier chattel mortgage the flight simulator was not his to offer. When he failed to keep up with the repayments, he claimed to be in debt with a loan shark in order to convince the same student to restructure his existing loan arrangement with him and secure further funding from him.
In 2012, Seville, still struggling with his finances, managed to convince another flight school owner to purchase Flight Academy Blackpool Ltd in 2012 with the promise that the flight simulator would then be theirs. It was only after they bought the company that it was discovered that this was not the case.
Seville was convicted of fraud at
Preston Crown Court and was found to have conned £77,000 from the scam. In February 2022 he was sentenced to four months in prison after pleading guilty to fraud.
A Proceeds of Crime Hearing, held in August 2022 found he had just £167.96 in available assets. Judge Richard Archer ordered him to pay back the money within three months or face six months in prison by default.
