It's a pity they didn't get themselves up and running - I met most of their senior management team and they seemed nice enough people. One major problem, though - no one with any real airline management experience!
Their business plan was also somewhat questionable as they seemed to want to have a two base operation - MME and ORK with no aircraft actually based in PLY!
Still, I know John Orpin spent a lot of money on this and he was of course hoping to start operating at the end of the summer. My commiserations to those affected.
