Dragons Den

Did anyone see this programme on which the MD of a proposed Seaplane company in Scotland pitched for £150K to help him set up the business (it was a repeat, so don't know when the original was screened)
Anyway, the bloke was a complete waste of space, with no business acumen whatsoever. He reckoned he was going to buy two Cessna Caravan float planes at £1.25 million each, and that he'd spent £300K of his own money so far on a Maule with floats. Now I'm not too sure of used plane prices, but I don't reckon he spent even a third of that amount on a Maule.
He was a complete tosser frankly, and was very quickly sent on his way with a flea in his ear.
Did this business ever get off the ground (or water)??
