Markflyer, the POM group did not start these threads.
Having spoken to the owners of G-BPOM (there are 4 now) the reason they quit Solofight was due to a dissagreement with getting more share holders into POM to help with the finances and Soloflight were a bit petty and nasty about it. Also we gather they were fed up with the abuse the a/c was getting and Soloflight not giving a dam about it. The crunch came when POM went into hangar 9 and Mrs Soloflight went ballistic for some reason.

I hear that the POM Group now has 10 members who are all dissenchanted ex Soloflight members - fed up with crap aircraft (apart from POM), absent owner, stressed instructors (poor Richard having the lot dumped on him whilst madam owner was away having a jolly good time abroad with new boyfriend) and a general lack of interest.

Apparently they approached the owner of POM and asked if he would set up as a private group - taking POM off the Sololfight fleet. It's a limited membership and fully comited.
But contrary to popular belief it's not a flying school nor is it in anyway connected to hangar 9 or the new school there.

Considering the huge amount of loyalty and support that the owner of G-BPOM gave Soloflight over the last 2 years - yes he is a jolly good chap and so enthusiastic - what really happened to make him leave??!!

Was it because Mrs Soloflight eventually hacks everyone off - she uses and abuses and does'nt give a dam.

Markflyer - you ar'nt the one who's bought Solofight their PA28 soon to arrive are you ?- if you are be carefull - I understand that the owner of G-BRWO fell out 6 months ago - and took it off the Solofight fleet - because of abuse of his a/c!!

....and a little bird tells me that Soloflight is up for sale - so what loyalty and security message does that give a/c owners who allow Soloflight the use of their planes?

Wish we could all join the POM Group - sounds like a great little group - but it's a limited membership
