Willow Air - Update
For those interested:
Willow Air has ceased trading. Apparently this was a sudden decision made by the proprietor, Steve Papi, and it seems that he closed the business leaving staff unpaid, money held on account by club members appropriated and money owed to Southend Airport left outstanding.
Most of the flying club members have taken their membership to another flying club at the airfield, Seawing. Apparently Willow Air's Chief Flying Instructor, Mark Carter, has moved to Seawing also.
In the light of these developments those people contemplating business dealings with Mr Steve (Stellios) Papi, especially in the field of aviation, may wish to think carefully about proceeding.
