Air West Africa
About 10 yrs ago i was invited for some interviews at half penny green , this company was going to fly a bi-plane around gambia.I got offered the job but later declined, i just wondered if anybody was there and if this company actually got off the ground???

Was around/in The Gambia from mid to end 90's and there was certainly nothing like that there or even talked about - I dont even recall an AOC being registered in that exact name - a biplane around Gambia? country is small but I could imagine a single engined air taxi operation to go up river and to do joy rides for the holidaymakers around BJL - but a biplane no...

Thanks raptor ,its a good job i didnt part with £5000 bond they wanted at the time to secure my training in the states.It was an old russian bi-plane as well so that would have been interesting i think to fly tourist around was the idea.The then CAA seemed a much better choice for me.

I believe the pictures they showed me were of the ANT 2. I think the whole thing must have just collapsed after every person they gave a job to turned them down and they said recruiting in the good old US of A would be easier.Shame though, they were actually nice guys.
