Cranfield PFT appeared to wind down when a PA38 operated by the company crashed in early June and an instructor and student were seriously injured. I'm a regular visitor and I haven't seen any of their aircraft, or indeed any signs of life at the offices, for many weeks. Other airfield residents tell me that they have noticed the same thing.

Looking at G-INFO this afternoon, it was interesting to note that three aircraft operated by the company have had their ARC's suspended - a Cessna 172 and two PA38s.

That is in addition to two motor gliders; the Grob 109 had it's ARC suspended some time ago and the Scheibe SF25D, which appears never to have held one since it's transfer from the German register.

HPFT Ltd does not own the aircraft it operates, they are 'chartered by demise' from Saxby Aero Leasing Ltd. The same person owns both companies.
