There is obviously some mis-information going on here. The only school at Blackpool who cannot issue the training they claim to be able to administer is flybpl.com owned by an individual who cannot resist advertising himself very verbally and also on his website for things he is not licensed to do.
Examples:-
2 week PPL:- Great if you have a lease with the airport which enables you to do training but he does not. His lease is for an air taxi operation for which he does not have an AOC!
Charter:- On the subject of charter, it seems like this individual continues to flout the law as regards illegal public transport. Obviously he is always a paying participant in these flights, just like the one he did yesterday in G-EEJE. By the way this charter operation claims it can service 2-200 people. How many can you fit in a PA28?? How many elephants can you fit in a mini!
4 Day IMC:- Nice thought if the instructor (RM) had an IMC rating in order that he could teach it himself. Last intelligence on that subject was that he hasn't got one because of the fact that NONE of the examiners based at Blackpool would do his test for him. Burn't some bridges!!!
Banner Towing:- Can't be completed by someone who doesn't own an aircraft capable of banner towing, the only other banner towing operation on the airport are well aware of his claims which may be referring to their operation but certainly cannot be provided by him.
Helicopter training:- Show us your helicopter! LOL
Commercial and multi training:- No F.T.O. talk about pot calling kettle sooty A**se! At least FAB do have their FTO status but flybpl definitely does not!!! How can RM be so hypoctricical as to spread such falsehoods about others whilst blatently advertising to be an FTO when he clearly IS NOT!
Most of the aircraft advertised on his website are owned by people who no longer want anything to do with him. Furthermore the claims made verbally by him of his associations with various companies and individuals all exist only in the mind of the man himself. Most of the people he has upset on the airport have also been grassed by him to the CAA. Unsuccesfully!
It seems RM that you should stop making false accusations and claims of your status, and begin trading fairly although your reputation in the industry obviously proves you are not capable of this.
Flight Academy, Aircraft Grouping and the like are all honest respectable companies who operate within the law and within the constraints of good business practice. This is why they had to get rid of the above named individual because his reputation prohibited their growth.
He is a banned company director and has proven many times in the past that he is a failure. Sour grapes now prevail and he insists on generating threads like this under strange and varied user names. Jealousy is not an attractive trait RM.
The word defacto CFI springs humorously to mind when talking about this individual and the misery he has caused with his false claims and dillusions of grandure.
FAB, AGL and SMS continue to trade reputably despite these ridiculous lies generated by one very bitter and jealous individual. Rob by name, Rob by nature!
