Might be a bit of urban myth in this tale, but I know for a fact that it isn't that far from the truth!!
So what happens now, is there going to be a new spy satellite system sent up so they can see if the pilots are smart??
Whose reister will be aircraft be flown on? It is no secret that a fair amount of the Stobart road fleet is regsitered in Belgium to avoid road tax and fuel duty.
Personally, wouldn't let them run a village post round, let alone road transport, but then to remain fair here, I used to be involved in road haulage, and Stobart is the MOL of that industry, makes money and everyone hates him for doing it!!!
Well there's plenty of Emerald aircraft sitting on the Apron at Blackpool without a home to go to at the moment, if he's interested.
