Dodgy dodson

Everything at hangar 5 wonderboom airport attached by the sherif today, only thing not attached was the polo, seems b k did a duck. strange he's still around as acting ceo, he's here on an expired visitors visa, no work permit. methinks dodson is getting back just a little of what he so generously hands out

Honest Bob

Yep, new someone that bought two left wing flappy things and a wing skin.... the two inboard flappy things arrived, not the two left hand ones, RHS sent back, left outboard and wingskin never arrived, so turns out the wingskin was sold, up to this day blank refusal to refund the money....

B.D. is a thug, a scrapyard owner, nothing more....

By the looks of it, his "sons" (your reference, not mine) were actually the adult sons of his new wife. To refer to them as his "sons", or his own son's brothers, was doubtless a mark of respect for their mother more than anything else.

It also appears those "sons" were given jobs in the family business and then set about stealing infomation from it for their own benefit.

So your comments are, at best, a tad misleading.

I've known B D for many years. He has many faults, one of which is believing that you can do business in Africa in the same way as you can in the USA, where a man's word is his bond and a binding agreement is concluded on a handshake.

He is also living proof that you cannot run a successful business by remote control...you need to be in the business, on the ground, 24/7, not thousands of miles away hoping that your local staff will run things the way you would.

If you have known this scrap yard dealer for so long are you also aware of his Dodgy dealings then, and do you approve?

Afraid you are trying to explain all his failed dealings due to ignorance of how things work in Africa, sorry Sir, not that simple, - those we not talking about, only the under-handed dodgy dealings, screwing people and his staff over, and wittingly and knowingly trying to operate expired aircraft in Africa still on the American register.

The FAA should get hold of this guy and get him to explain, otherwise shut his Amrican junk yard and license down too.

Couldnt happen to a nicer guy

As I did not write the article I most certainly did not refer to them as "his sons" that is an exact copy of the court transcript and as dodgy and jnr dodgy did not win this case like all the others they loose, it was just merely an example of the lengths this despicable individual will go to. Have it 1st hand information that they sue at the drop of a hat and see it through to the bitter end, more often than not actually losing the cases!

There are no comments from me on the matter, merely a link to a court document!

Shame and you actually admit to knowing him, didnt think any one would publically own up to that. Before you slate how business is done in africa why dont you find out the facts of what he does to people, not just africans. what do you make of the "pilot" who's now running the so called african set up on an expired visitors visa, he hasnt been paid by dodgy for 3 years and i think at last count was owed about 300 000.00 US dollars plus the interest on the money, oh and by the way he is an AMERICAN. Also this latest incident of ruining peoples lives was based on a hand shake. the guy took over the company a little more than 2years ago, dodgy ommitted to tell him that the caa was closing the company down, it had had no ceo for more than a year. the guy put in an 18 hour day every day doing at least 5 peoples jobs to keep down costs, including weekends, public holidays, christmas holidays etc and actually managed to turn the company to the point where it was making a very healthy profit , had dodgy not syphoned every cent back to the us the company would actually be in a great position. 2 yrs down the line, as happens every 2 or so years, dodgy looses a dodgy contract and then sidelines the ceo into the position of a 2nd hand spares salesman, on 5% commission but still the ceo of the charter operation and responsible manager for the amo! FAIR PRACTISE maybe in the US but certainly not in Africa, just for the record he was employed with a "handshake" promise that he and his family were moving to the us to run a setup at new century. HE and his family sold or gave away everything preparing for the move, at a huge loss to themselves. dodgy never secured the visas because the sob knew the african operation couldnt run with out the person in question. Also based on a handshake was bonuses for work finished, all done and not 1 cent of bonus ever paid. dodgy has no morals whatsoever and this latest incident is just one of a great many over the years, most certainly not only to africans but to his fellow US compatriots in fact he doesnt even stick to written contracts that he himself draws up, ask the previous technical manager where he profit share is. What do you make of him "stealing" 2 pt9 engines from an african and never returning them or paying for them. Maybe FAIR PRACTISE in the US but not in africa. the list just goes on and on and on,. he lies so often he even contradicts himself completely in legal documents signed under oath.

perhaps before you defend the morals of someone like dodgy, do a google search, you'll be amazed what info is readily available. People like DODGY should be banned from doing business in africa. This time though, I hope dodgy has lied himself into sufficient of a corner that he will be taken to task and end up with a hefty jail sentence. personally i wouldnt like to spend 1 day in an african jail.

A fool and his money.....

Your 'mate' hasn't been paid for 3 years but still goes to work? What is wrong with the moron! If you are that thick you deserve what you get. Its amazing how many people don't look after themselves and then want to blame the rest of te world when reality comes their way.

Dodgy Bob is a junk yard thug. You only need to meet him once to see that. If you continue to deal with him thereafter then dont be surprised when he acts like he obviously is.

And as for the contention that he is a thief because he hasn't found God, I have never heard such crap in my life. He is a thief because he chooses to steal. I have met many 'saved' people that too choose to steal. God doesn't make you honest, you make you honest.

Happy holidays Bob, what goes around comes around, 'ey.

Cant help but wonder what is being done to stop this monster. does he go scott free as usual or is someone actually going to stand up and confront him. why the hell is he still allowed to operate in SA or even own a business here?

Dealiongs with Dodgeson

I had dealings with this creep in 2006 and was burned. Funny him being called a thug when he is only knee high to a grasshopper. One of the smallest men I ever met, if not the smallest. Evil dwarf maybe? Any further news re his "operation" at Wonderboom? Is he gone for good this time? What happened to the turbine daks?
