Has anyone any idea what is happening with Skydrift in Norwich?
Their website says that the office is closed and just gives a contact number - the EMB-110 was certainly flying last Thursday (29/03) so whatever has happened is pretty recent!

Companies House information does not look too good

Yes, probably right - an online search shows Longmint Group as being in administration as of 30th March, which would certainly tie in.
Not certain who is doing Bond's handling now though.....

Great shame to see another bunch of innocents suffering as the result of (at best) the incompetence and arrogance of the last owners. I wonder if the flash cars and houses are still in place?
Hopefully this latest death throe marks the final exit of BBCC from the aviation business, and those left behind will rebuild..... It may be painful now, but trust me, you're better off out.
With luck, the industry will remember the names and avoid them like the plague in future (thinks - actually, a dose of the plague might be nicer to deal with...)
Good luck to all the casualties, and hope they weren't left out of pocket as so many others were.

This probably didn't help.
Oh, and I just googled Longmint. Don't google Longmint.

Why oh why did I just google that?
At 38 you would have thought I would heed the warnings. But oh no I didn't. I have learnt a lot in 4 seconds.

Shame to see. When I was an apprentice at Southend G-TABS was one of the many bandits I worked on. And I was over sen the other day and it was parked north side. It's got to be after working on many types up to 747 my favourite aircraft. Why?......I suppose it was my first and you never forget your first haha :-)
