Wow! That's rather an aggressive response.
I was not putting myself forward as an expert, "self-appointed" or otherwise, in recommending "who to, and who not to deal with". My expertise lies in a different field, as my username might suggest. I was relying upon the expertise and experience of others whose opinions I respect.
I know three people who bought their Gazelles from MW Helicopters:
All three are extremely shrewd and successful businessmen.
Two are experienced helicopter operators.
All three have nothing but the highest praise for Martin Woods.
All three continue to have their Gazelles maintained by MW Helicopters which has a close working relationship with the manufacturers.
All three highly recommended MW Helicopters.
That seemed (and still seems) to me to be a reasonably safe basis upon which to make a recommendation, and I stand by it.
