Willow Air

I'm doing my PPL at Southend Flying Club at the moment and I think they mentioned something about them going out of business? SFC have just bought a C152 from one of the other clubs at Southend and I think it may have been Willow Air?

I think it was put down to the fact that Willow Air didn't actually own the building they were using and had to pay rent to Southend and they had all of their a/c parked on the main apron, which they also had to pay for, which I'm guessing would have been a significant drain of funds. SFC own their building and parking area outright so they haven't got that problem.
