Hi Vertiginous, Thanks again for your support. I do not know exactly what they are/were. At the time I paid the money they were a vat registered company (company, I think meaning ltd) what they were at the time the phone was put down on me and I was informed there was nothing PS could do to help me (creep), I have no idea what the organization was. I know from others that BCT did not have a valid AOC (what ever that is) when they were flying people around doing sight-seeing/etc flights and that vat bills were not offered on payment of flights despite being informed their rates included vat. In fact the old BCT web site price list verified the inclusion of vat. PS was, according to himself running the fiasco at that time. Perhaps the flying authorities should be included in the chain of interested investigative parties.
