Tesco Flight Department

Can anyone actually confirm that Tesco has closed their flight department?

From what I can see the only evidence for that conclusion is The Guardian's report that Kansas Transportation has been dissolved. G-CGUL is for sale with Gulfstream but this most probably because it was traded in part exchange for G-LSCW. None of the other a/c (G-CGUZ, G-CDLT or G-LSCW) are listed for sale on the net.

The Tesco fleet has been registered to Tesco Stores Ltd, Corporate Flight Department October 2013. Presumably Tesco moved the aircraft when their operation became public knowledge and the subterfuge of using a seemingly unrelated company was revealed; once this was done the company was of no further use and was closed down.

Hopefully the department is still flying. This is certainly my view.

Incidentally does anyone know the true significance of the regn G-LSCW?
