TAE Aviation Adelaide closing down?

[Kenneth]

Have heard TAE Aviation Adelaide have scaled back or are closing down operations in Adelaide due to a number of recent mishaps. Anyone know if this is fact?

The mishaps ive heard are:

Titan wing blown up
Conquest ailerons rigged incorrectly and when the pilot got airborne he realised and had to abort the flight.
King air prop dropped and damaged.
Conquest vacuum instruments filled with hydraulic fluid due to incorrect lines connected:confused: is that even possible?
King Air dropped off of jacks... aircraft tail section badly damaged
1900 prop destroyed, wing leading edge and pressure vessel damaged when a toolbox was hit by prop on engine test.

Seems hard to believe considering i thought this place was a well run maintenance outfit.

The other question is (if the above is true) who is left to carry out GA maintenance in Adelaide?

Premiair is there. They have quality guys and do quality work not like TAE who charge the earth, take forever to do it, then don't do it right! Alot of good guys left and other good ones were put elsewhere which left the wrong people left to do the jobs, and you can see what has happened.
