I have recently been searching high and low for any kind of flying job available, and came over these guys by chance. After few email exchanges, included in post, we agreed to meet up. However amazingly all the meetings never materialized for some reason or the other! :}
I did few private enquirers, and also check with a few of the people who advertise on their site, and the response was that they guy James Brown, who is the domain owner, is genuine enough, but fairly sure he was not a pilot, also they claimed they had a deal with Links Aviation for the TR, which I also contacted, and which was a load of BS!
Furthermore I contacted Help for Heros, and that was equally another lie, as they had NO association with the company. After a while I found several more websites with same style and same setup, just included them in this post to show.
Now why would anybody bother to create a fake air taxi company? This is what I don't get, or is it just crazy people like this in this business. I did on several occasions speak with them by phone too, and several times phone calls would not reply, or they would change phone numbers once every week.
So I am curious has anybody ever heard of these companies?

I contacted them and got the following reply:
"I think that we may have come into contact at just the right time as we are currently expanding due to new contracts recently been won, also investment opportunities available.
We currently operate a small fleet of mixed owned and managed fixed wing aircraft, Piper PA31-310 Navajo (2), B200 King Air (1), BAe Jetstream 32 (1) and a Gulfstream 695A Twin Commander (1) and B200 King Air (1) used for some corporate work as they are VP/N registered. We have another BAe Jetstream 32 & ATR42 arriving on loan in May/June for a 6 month period."
"We aim to faze out one possibly both Piper PA31 Navajo aircraft in the coming months, being replaced by (1) B200 King Air and one other aircraft to which has not been confirmed. We do also have some Scheduled routes coming about at the end of the year. This is due to high demand and along with a Government Grant & a European Business Grant, so we will then be operating both divisions side by side."
