BBC Radio programme
The BBC Programme is 'File On Four' radio 4, Tuesday 26 may at 8.00pm. and is repeated next Sunday at 5.00pm, although I imagine it will be available on the BBC website at any time after Tuesday. The story will also be broadcast across the BBC news channels on TV and radio on the same day.
Anyone who feels they have lost out because of the CJS, Club 328 or Euromanx debacles, may also like to know their is a Debate in the House Of Commons on the 2nd June (Tuesday week) specifically on the subject of the Reading Branch of Bank of Scotland and its treatment of small businesses - very relevant to several aviation companies. If you have been directly affected and want to support this debate, you should get your MP to contact James Paice who propossed it.
I cannot say what the BBC programme is actually about because I don't know the details and the BBC have been very protective of letting any thing slip out prior to broadcast. However, I do know they have been researching for 14 weeks and one of the Companies they have looked at in depth is CJS - the parent Company of Club 328, Euromanx, J.E.T.S . It's also the Company that lost BoS millions of pounds.

Well, just listened to that this afternoon. Really just targeting the excesses of lending by the Reading branch of HBOS, nothing about Club 328, nothing about Planechartering, and nothing about Crowther, - all a different bunch of crooks. I wouldn'tmind betting where the $100M yacht came from though!!!

Crowther
Actually, Crowther helped in the making of the program as I heard it. The facts, not the rumours, tell the real story. Crowther bought the Club 328 company in it's last death throws. Loosing 200K a month with pilots that didnt fly and management that didnt work or know what was going on! The only crtiscim Crowther should accept is that if you play with fire, you may get burned. He gambled on buying the company for it's AoC and clearly didnt know what he was getting into. He, and everyone else lost a fortune.
In the absence of anyone else, he makes a pretty good scapegoat though!
As you say, I the investigation is continuing. Crowther is

Dornier 328 JET Maintenance Costs
What's approximately Honeywell Gold Program costs for 328 JET engines and Honewywell Primus 2000 for this same engine? I presume it goes by pay per hour basis?
