"This man is no mug, he is an aviation enthusiast and a with the links his company keeps who knows what the possibilities are.So hopefully things maybe looking up at Coventry, they certainly deserve some good luck."
Indeed he is no mug, which makes me think that perhaps he would balk at owning CVT. Mugs are really what are needed to take it over, anybody with any sense and money will be steering well clear I'd imagine.
He might be interested, owns Patriot Aviation down at Cranfield, and has an aircraft based at CVT which was handled by Helicentre I think, also has his single Squirrel at Wellesbourne near where he lives I believe.
