Hi RADICALRABBIT, Thanks for your moral support. I hear what you say but the trouble is it would only make me as bad as them. All I want is one of the individuals who has spent my money to acknowledge it is/was wronge and return my money, no more-no less. I can prove they made it impossible to utilise the hours paid for and that I paid the money etc etc. They will not be able to prove otherwise and one would assume their accounts would have a large question mark inside, wondering where this un-reconciled money came from. If they were operating an AOC charter business, I am led to believe there are very tight records kept for the operation. I do hope this Paul Shanley or what ever his actual name is has discussed his past history to his new partner at Kemble airfield and that anyone flying at this joint venture ask for their money back and go somewhere else to do their flying as all they will be doing is funding criminals.
