Lon More suggests he must have "...rubbed shoulders with some Ppruners in the past."
Well, he was at a London bash a couple of years back. Does anyone else remember hearing that he fell asleep on the train back to Sussex and had something valuable stolen? I seem to remember that it was his laptop. If it was this is a bit worrying for investors in his latest dubious enterprise.
On the Lionair website it is claimed that...
"Lionair and all of its subsidiary companies are 'paperless' which allows Neil to run them from wherever he is in the world through his laptop."
But perhaps it'll never happen again. On the site it is also claimed that Duncan MacLaughlin is to be the airline's "Special Projects Manager" who will be "responsible for the security of the company’s operations, assets and personnel."
This ex-drug and regional crime squad officer has apparently been "trained by the SAS in covert techniques" and has expertise in "money laundering and undercover surveillance."
A tad over qualified if his main job is sitting next to Neil on the train and making sure nobody nicks the laptop when he falls asleep after 18 pints of lager.
