You are right, Pantsonfire. IMHO, only the downfall of the hedgehog has stopped, what was probably to be, a planned take over of most of the small UK helicopter companies. There must be concern now for the ones that were taken over. Staff were poached on the promise of large salaries. They will be reconsidering their position now. There is still competition about and turning these loss makers around, is going to be a very challenging task. I doubt if the money is now there to do it!!
The employees of Erinaceous, about to lose there jobs with no redundancy or compensation pay, must feel quite bitter that the last act of this family was to take £800,000 out of the pittance that was left.
