I'm told by other airport users that the Baron is blocked in with vehicles following a cheque for fuel being bounced by MD. Their concern is that he will try to take G-WIZZ somewhere.

Wonder what G-WIZZ's owner makes of it?

G-WIZZ is not owned by the company?????? Thats interesting! and Uniques registered office has been vacated? So where are the solicitors letters to be sent ? Has companies house been informed? and what pilots are left ? Who's flying the Baron?

I'm under the impression it was leased (same as the Seneca that MD claimed to have written off, which is still flying). I remember the Baron's owner coming to Swansea to demonstrate it. He was a Devon based travel agent if I recall.

G-info should clear that one up.

The correct reg is G-WWIZ, rather than G-WIZZ

While we are on the subject, who flew it and are their licence and medicals up to scratch for aircraft movements in this country?

last I was told by swansea bods was Baron had been hemmed in by trucks to prevent running away after fuel was bought by one of those rubber cheques they seem so fond of giving out .

I can't confirm or deny where it is now, or if it is still there. Anbody else heard anything? Any new aircraft on the horizon? like a fleet of SJ30's per chance??? lol

Mark come on, let me assert another rumour: the other office to which you refer is your flat, and you won't have that for much longer if you bounce your rent cheques there too! Hopefully Mum and Dad will still take you in, or have you burned your bridges there too?

First time I heard of an annual inspection being carried out on an apron with the aircraft shrouded by trucks!

If you are the owner of such a successful enterprise why don't you just pay your pilots, employees and others who are owed money, then all these awful "rumours" will be truly unfounded? Simple really.

How's the Ferrari running these days?!!

Got any more roobish to uncover?

At last!

Was beginning to feel left out! but just in nick of time, recieved this from MD.

Re: rubish
Oh mr prop,
Thats all we needed you have just stated liable which will be taken further you should have checked the real facts, have a nice day.


Must be honest here, this was in response to a personal message from him to me, I was forthright in my opinions of him and operations.

Can private conversations be liabalous then ? lol


But just pleased to be in the " I've been threatened by Unique club " !! Lots of members now I think ? lol

Libel

Prop. It'll be interesting where the action against you will be issued. Bearing in mind some of us are about to lose our homes, or already have done, I'm not sure where the Unique Air solicitors will write to us! Still you can look forward to your day in court at their expense if it ever came to that, which I doubt very much indeed. Of course, in order to prove your statements you would need to ask a few pertinent questions of the Managing Director, who would have to perjure himself if he claimed the pilots were all paid on time, that the charts were all up to date, and that he himself hasn't been trying to libel us to potential employers.

To be honest I think you are quite safe drawing a line under Unique and walking away. I'm still going to issue proceedings for my wages, and I know a good many others are also. I mean, it's the principle isn't it!

I wouldn't mind seeing the photos, can you post them on here?

Is the aircraft still there on the apron blocked in then, as the director claims otherwise - he says it's having it's maintenance check carried out, there again he seems to have a few conflicting stories here.

Good grief

Is this still going! Im impressed by the amount of deciept and bull that one person can create I have to say.
If people require other infomation for there case I have no probs giving what I know, I have been chatting to the CAA regarding previous discussions on here. Just remember If you need to get your money you can go not for just MD but registered directors too
If not the owner of that G-WWIZ? Is the owner not going to be off when he wants his plane?

Seeing as the only registered Directors when the non-payment took place were MD and his Dad I think that's a bit unfair, the real money sits with MS (I am led to believe) and he has no legal responsibility.

I can't help thinking that any court action would just bring around the winding up of the original company as they now have established more companies.

If this is the case you will have to prove wrongful trading if you want to go for the directors personally.
