Once we were 12, now we are 7, 6, 5?

The fleet operated by the now defunct Hinton Pilot Flight Training Ltd seems to be dwindling apace. PA28 G-DENE is showing as being sold on the Flying Fox Aviation web site, although Tomahawk BGGM is still for sale.

However like G-DENE, two other HPFT Tomahawks (BODS and BGRX) are also showing as "Potential change of registered ownership" on G-INFO, which would suggest a sale.

That leaves seven aircraft - six if you exclude Tomahawk BGBN which was destroyed in the serious accident at Cranfield in early June. Of those six, five lack a valid CofA (3 suspended by CAA, 1 expired, 1 UK CofA never issued), the sixth aircraft being BGGM referred to earlier.


It appears that the ex-HPFT CFI and one of the instructors are starting up a new club with bases at Enstone and Hinton. It is believed that they will operate under the RTF of Enstone-based Enstone Airlines and initially will be using a PA38 and a C152.
