Offering discounts for block-booking in advance was never Sterling's style. But there are still local PPL students, half way through a course who now have nowhere local to complete it - the nearest Schweizer being Leicester. Those students have still invested a lot of money and time so far.
There is one easy solution Longmint go! Gerry Hermer comes out of retirment and takes over again
Would that it were that simple. Much as I'd love to see GH at the helm again, there is still the small matter of the multi-million Euro mortgages raised in Sterling Helicopters Ltd's name which will still need to be paid.
What Sterling does need though is a White Knight to come and buy them for £1 and inject the cash to pay off the loans.
