Kalif: You keep repeating this challenge as to whether any company is/was as good as 'Lynton' and which is, of course, derisible.
In your own Britain there is a single company in the charter/sales and general aviation market which has stayed the course and garnered favour from staff and customers alike. They don't need to be named because the are the only outfit (as stated) that has withstood the test of time.
We all have organisations that mean something to us (and I am glad that Lyntons brings back warm memories for you) but to say they were the only successful, well-run operation is simply inaccurate. As I say, a 'living' example exists upon your shores to this very day.
