DO NOT use Robert Weaver as a ferry pilot

[Scott C]

On a tangent, is it customary to wear 4 bars when ferrying aircraft?

If it was me, i'd feel a bit of a

Somehow the idea of the GSG, replete with Capn's bars, sat on top of an Ariane rocket seems strangely believable......

Just for the larf, during diversion, I've made a quarterly visit to weavers Skyferry Facebook.

Sky Ferry Aircraft Delivery LLC - Facebook
www.facebook.com ›


For those that remember the 2011 ill fated PA31 skyferry delivery to Thailand...
has subsequently resurrected on 17th March 2016 as a successful delivery!
That ferry was dogged. Weaver claimed captaincy for 5-9 days until Julian Storey popped his head above the parapet taking weavers flack. Julian was allegedly operating under the chief pilot, weaver himself.
The owner was far from happy, having to listen to Weaver's increased fuel costs all the way. It transpired that Julian was one of the lucky one's that did get paid. Paul Coyne et al, one of many other ferry pilots were just scammed by weaver.

I also have some niggling doubts about his recent Seneca ferry to.
On 22nd February 2016 he claims a delay for a 50 hour check. Surely this was factored in. On 4th March 2016 he claims a weather delay by a photograph showing a few raindrops.
Does anyone know if this Seneca has made it to destination? ...as he doesn't claim another happy customer.

Weaver - you post on here as HGFCPilot. From what I can see, you're not banned. What went wrong this time?

[Jetblu]

And here we go again. Different day, same s..t

That Seneca ferry was blatantly doomed from the outset. Once you know the planks modus operandi you can just see where it's going. I wouldn't mind betting that it's grounded near his home airfield in Bucharest, Romania with a manufactured plank technical issue. I also foresee the owner being in a blackmailed situation.

People have said that their is enough information in the public domain about Robert Weaver - Skyferry to do some due diligence, but in my opinion it does not help one bit when you have Jon Hilton from National Solicitors making a statement about the ferry fraternity being a dog eat dog industry. That is far from the actual truth. My, and many other victims of Weaver's have seen how the ferry fraternity all stick together and help one another out. In fact, it was near all those ferry companies whom where trying desperately to retrieve Kay's stolen GPS that plank had borrowed but never returned.

The other thing of concern to me is that potential victims could actually be taken in by Jon Hilton's statement of what looks to be from a firm of solicitors when it is not.
In my opinion, looking at it, it looks to be an ambulance chasing outfit or a 'broker' [middleman] offering legal services. The other thing of interest is this, Jon Hilton suggests that any victim/customer dispute with Skyferry should be in civil proceedings.
How does Jon Hilton propose this would work when all Weaver's addresses are just virtual offices. The USA office that Weaver advertises doesn't even exist. I wonder if Jon Hilton would double indemnify Weaver's potential victims/customers. I also wonder if this failed Seneca ferry had anything to do with the victim being taken in by the National Solicitors statement? If so, in my opinion, aid and abetting springs to mind.

Weaver is known to use a multitude addresses to throw the victim off. This is nothing new. In my instance, back in 2009, I was told that Skyferry's address was at Coventry Airport, as stated on his website at that time. My County Court summons was returned "not known at this address" After a bit more investigation work, we found that Weaver had used 38 Brockhurst Lane, Monks Kirby, Coventry, CV23 0RA for the purposes of his class 2 FAA medical certificate. It was shortly after that 'Weaver's of Warwickshire' [a purported firm of solicitors] turned up, also registered at 38 Brockhurst Lane, Monks Kirby, Coventry, CV23 ORA.

Another gem, although a new one, Weaver puts a clause in to what he would call a contract to say that the victim is not allowed to discuss anything witha third party about what he already knows is going to be engineered into a frustrated transaction. My advice to any victim is this, don't pay Weaver a further bean. Report directly to the police.

Update. A N reg Seneca is parked at Baneasa Int'l Aeroport, Bucurest. Baneasa/Aurel Vlaicu Airport, Bucharest - BBU LRBS

Weaver is also known at Henri Coanda Int'l Aeroport, Bucurest
So no surprises with my first guess earlier.

Weaver has very recently turned up on my Linkedin pages as someone I might like to connect with. So he's still out there, quoting a different location (Geneva). His profile photo appears to be a "selfie" taken in the left seat of someone else's cockpit.

He is apparently now getting into helicopter management..

[PPRuNe Towers]

The sticky at the top of the page wouldn't still be there if reports still weren't arriving from customers, support companies and freelance pilots all with stories of being stiffed Ken. These things are, sadly, consistently happening and even ongoing right now as Jetblu describes.

Mr Smith,

I see little point in muddying the waters on this thread regarding GEP. Are you insinuating that Weavers despicable and deceitful tendencies are GEP's fault?

In my opinion, here are the striking differences.

In December 2011 I personally witnessed Weaver admit his deceitful business practice and accepted his apology. He went on to confirm the same in writing. The consensus was that he would amend his unscrupulous ways and go on to operate a legitimate business. Sadly, that never materialised.

A Fresh Start - A open apology - PPRuNe Forums
PPRuNe Forums - Professional Pilots Rumour Network › Aircrew Forums › Biz Jets, Ag Flying, GA etc.
15 Dec 2011 - hope that this post is read in the spirit that is intended, please read it in its entirety before throwing me to the wolves. I am a young ...

GEP was clearly a confidence trickster. That sentiment was echoed by Judge Patrick Eccles sitting at Oxford Crown Court. After GEP was found guilty, defending counsel Colin McCarreher [during mitigation] said this, " my client has changed his views on life and criminal activity." Only time will really tell, yet Weaver still blames GEP and others in his Wordress ramblings for his own fraudulent activity. What I really suspect is that Weaver blames the others for exposing him in his "ongoing" deceitful practices.

That said, let's now get down to the nitty gritty and cut to the chase....

What makes you think A.N other director at GAF wrote favourably about RW? If we went with your theory for just one second, wouldn't that then expose the A.N other director to being a total lunatic himself? The evidence I have is that those words were written by the plank in a failed attempt to restore his own credibility.

The AeroCadet and Firstavia company's looks like linked company's purely for the Google ratings. You may find that they rub one another's backs so to speak. I can most certainly see where low houred pilots are being dangled the carrot for ferry work.

On the GAF website, Hangar 21, 700 Airport Road, Ormond Beach, FL32174 is the alleged operational base. The owners there have confirmed to an investigating authority that GAF are not known there. Then we turn to the GAF Facebook page. There we have another address being cited as 226 N Nova Road, Ste 358, Ormond Beach, FL32174.
It's not known. All striking hallmarks to the Sky Ferry address shenanigans in Ormond Beach, albeit the actual owner of 'that' address told Weaver in May 2015 to remove it from his website. To date, he has failed to do so.

Just out of curiosity, from a psychological perspective, can you tell us why you think the GAF website [your words] 'looks like a respectable firm?' Would you part with your money based on those photographs and statements?

Working on the assumption that you had already parted with your money, to then be told by Weaver that your aircraft is being left in a foreign country because he is best man at and wedding and/or he has an infected foot, how would you propose getting your money back based on the information to hand?

On a tangent, is it customary to wear 4 bars when ferrying aircraft?

Captain's bars are hard earned and only the best pilots who have invested many years of dedicated training (or have visited an aviation shop ) can wear them.

I recently came across an image of a young trainee pilot just setting out on his journey to become a Sky God and noticed a remarkable resemblance to Captain Weaver. I wonder if they could be related?

Mr Smith,

Notwithstanding that you have not replied to my previous post, I would like to take a minute to refresh your memory.

You were very well aware of the "Ferrybadexperiance" thread. It was all about your mate, Robert Weaver aka the plank. You may also recall that is was not a witch-hunt, it was orchestrated from some very aggrieved victims of the said plank.

You seem to want to muddy the waters by introducing GEP at every opportune minute. As I have told you before, GEP plays no part here. In fact he is nowhere to be seen on this thread. If you look at the initial post here, it is started by another victim.

Since you like to mention GEP, I shall tell you of two distinguishable differences between him and the plank. GEP has been dealt with and the Plank hasn't, yet!

Now, going back to refresh your memory as I said I would earlier, you were indeed a contributer to the "Ferrybadexperiance" thread, wasn't you?!
In case you have forgotten, here is what you said in Sept 2011 ....

Gentlemen, I recently received an email from RW stating that this forum is indeed orchestrated to take him down by the competitors and most posts are from the same IP

Well, that was a load of bo$$ocks, wasn't it?! No victims were competitors of the planks and we were all indeed individual, wasn't we?

Since you are in contact with the said plank, can you please ask him for a bona fida address and find out when we are all getting our monies back.

Oh, and I think the photographs have brought some laughter to the misery that your mate has caused.


EDIT : I have also since noticed that you have gone about deleting your previous posts. In view that you had forgotten all about over 100 pages of the "Ferrybadexperiance" thread, featuring your mate Robert Weaver at Sky Ferry Aircraft Delivery, and after carefully considering that your mate is also partial to a WordPress blog, here is what I'm going to do for the pair of you....over the weekend I'm going to upload the "Ferrybadexperiance" thread to a website. If you or your mate don't like it, bring it on and sue me.

Mr Smith

Edit: as has been pointed out: the post from "Mr Smith" to which this was a reply has been deleted by it's author. In that post, "Mr Smith" claimed that there were no valid complaints against Mr Weaver. This post was written in reply to that assertion.

I would just like to comment on your assertion that there are no valid complaints against Mr Weaver.

As JetBlu has pointed out: the numerous threads about Mr Weaver and SkyFerry are positively overflowing with unanswered alleged complaints by many dissatisfied customers.

You imply that there is no proof of any substance to any of the claims against him. Perhaps I could draw your attention to this thread, and in particular to the signature at the bottom of the first post by which Mr Weaver himself confirms, amongst other things, that he is indeed the HGFCPILOT who posted in many other Skyferry threads.

That first post would suggest that there is every indication of the substance of at least some significant number of earlier claims. Yet you say that there is "a witch hunt".

The fact that, since that thread began, the claims still remain unresolved and continue come in thick and fast; and that Mr Weaver is seemingly nowhere to be found despite his own publication of numerous addresses for his business which have subsequently apparently been shown to be fiction; would suggest that there may well be a wicked witch that is worth hunting.

To put that into context, for a review of one of Mr Weaver's better known exploits, perhaps this thread will serve.

As you appear to know Mr Weaver so well: perhaps you could prevail on him to set the record straight by providing those with complaints against him with a legitimate address for the service of court papers and a believable undertaking to come back and face his accusers when the cases come to court?

Surely that is the best way to settle this once and for all?

PS Oh, and for the record, I am the only person posting from this IP address and, for what it's worth, was present in court as a witness when Golden Eagle Pilot AKA Kevin Crellin was tried and convicted.

[Jetblu]

I've found it.

Now this really is priceless.

I see Mr. Smith's location is the "Moon". Certainly not an inhabitant of this planet. He is one of two things, an accomplice of Weaver, or proof of the truism that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. With the latter, it's why Weaver can reel in new customers, even if they have done their research.

I see Mr. Smith has a total of five posts on Pprune according to this thread, but a search only found two. Busy deleting?

[Stanwell]

I thought it could only have been his mother.

Witch Hunt News.

Dementers are believed to be searching for the pilot of this craft which was found today in The Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts School.



The craft, which appears to be fully serviceable, is believed to have been abandoned by the pilot when it's supply of money ran out.

Anyone with information regarding the identity or whereabouts of the pilot is requested to contact the Witchfinder General without delay.

[Jonzarno]

However, I consider myself a victim aslo. A victim of his schemes.

Care to share details?

So shut the f*ck up. All of you. And DO something.

Any ideas as to what should be done, who should do it and how?


Apart from the pictures I posted: I have also made some more thought out contributions to this and other threads about Mr Weaver, the last of those in reply to your earlier comment.

Have you had a chance to review the two threads I quoted? You might find them helpful in understanding why people seem to react as they do to Mr Weaver's activities.

Edit: The post by Mr Smith to which I wrote this reply seems to have vanished. I don't know if he thought better of it or if the Mods donked it (if so, I think you should put it back, even if it was a bit outspoken!).

That said: the quotes I give above are from the original post by Mr Smith and the questions I asked stand.

[Stanwell]

Hello... It seems our Mr Smith has cut and run again.
I thought it interesting that, in the latter part of his now deleted post, he(?) requested contact by PM only.
Curiouser and curiouser.


p.s. I now see he's deleted BOTH his recent posts.
