Im afraid you have all been taken in by someone who was simply bored and had nothing better to do with his time.
Deadheading duck is talking rubbish.
If you look at his posts and put them together. He was 18 when he started his own IT company. He took a "brief consultancy" job on when he was 20 (I doubt they would hire consultants at that age) and he also works part-time in a "public body in Wales". All the while doing really well with his own IT firm, enough so to give money away to wannabe pilots".
Im sorry you guys wasted your time on this. I also think deadheading duck should have his IP banned from prrune forever.
I think the moderator should take note of this.
