Who owns who?
Having been contacted with a possible business propsal involving a flight training organisation (with maintenance organisation ) set up in 2011, we have been doing a little digging to see who it can be, and have come across this thread.
Now, as far as we can see
a. If you go to Wolverhampton Airport site and click on Westbeach Flight Academy it gives you Halfpenny Green Flying Centre (HGFC).
b. On their website they say that HGFC is the trading name of Jetstream Executive Travel (Leasing) ltd JET. It also quotes a CAA AOC number 2292 which apperas to be defunct.
c. However JET - Company 06928782 is about to be struck off having not filed any accounts.
d. But HGFC is also a limited Company 07753588, with the same address as JETS, and is also about to be struck off, for the same reason.
e. The Westbeach website (which does not link from the airport site) says Westbeach Flight Academy is a trading name of Halfpenny Green Flying Centre.
f. Westbeach has an active Faceb**k account which had posted on Monday
Westbeach are 2 years old today...
We opened our doors on July 1st 2011, offering PPL training with a leased Cessna 152 and Cirrus SR20... Now 2 years on, we are a fully approved Commercial ATO offering PPL, CPL/IR, MCC and Flight Instructor courses operating 2 Diamondstars, 1 Twinstar, Warrior, Arrow, Cessna 152 and 172 and Grob 115...
To celebrate we have also appointed (CAA Approved) a new head of training today, Captain Vincent Coulton... Captain Coulton is a very experienced senior pilot having headed up a number of high profile Flight Schools, and together we aim to take Westbeach to the next level...
Thank you to all that have helped us along the way so far.
g. Westbeach Flight Academy is also limited Company 07156450, also based at the above addresses but also about to be struck off.
So, basically WTF is going on?
