It could be true.
I was told at the end of last summer by someone who flies from Kemble the owners wouldn't have the rally back if Steve Moody was in charge again. That was 100% reliable gen. I haven't asked him about it recently so I don't know if the owners stuck to their guns or backed down, probably depends how much money they make out of the rally. I wouldn't blame them if they stuck to their guns. Moody's ginormous ego and running off to the CAA caused a lot of hassle for Kemble as well as for the two pilots he was desperate to dob in it with the CAA.
