Hidden truth
Back several months ago colleagues were approached by an aviation consultant with industry experience at other airports, saying he was representing a new airline operation interested in linking EDI, CBG, OXF and NCL amongst other destinations at a later date. It looked and smelled like another infamous green liveried J31 operation with all the hallmarks of MH. As time progressed, the consultant clearly focused on OXF-EDI rather than CBG and that was that. Having blatently denied any MH involvement when asked, lo and behold, once commitments to launch the OXF-EDI route had been secured, who should crawl out of the woodwork but MH.
I don't think our friends at EDI or OXF would have let the outfit through the door had they known from the outset, hence the whole charade with fake backers, fake directors, fake addresses, fake finances, fake employees etc. Once the route was announced and sales of tickets went live, it's argually too late to tell the operation to forget it and dissapear - you go with it and hope it all works.
Fees to the airports would have been paid upfront by the actual operator, Linksair, not Varsity who were just a marketing brand and ticketing agent, so they ought not to be out of pocket.
Unfortunately, everyone else touched by this outfit would appear to be owed money.
All who seem to have had contact with Varsity/MH from the tail end of last year to even the papers yesterday seem to have been consistently lied to. It's just a catalogue of deceit.
MH clearly has a mental problem and actually needs therapy. He's probably not a true 'criminal' in the conventional sense, nor stupid in the low IQ sence, but very foolish, nieve, desperate and simply dishonest.
Lucky escape really!
