The Director Joe I haven't seen for years, he is or was a stand up guy, several of the people used to be Ex Rogers Aviation from Cranfield including Joe himself whom I used to work with, I don't know who is still there Engineer wise. also if they still do it, they used to cover any aircraft going through the paint shop there ( Mick Allen and Sons Resprays ) who was another ex Rogers guy... as for these days I cannot say..
Don't know if that's of any help.

Akki Aviation
Hi
This is my first post on PPRuNe so hope this works!
I've jointly owned several Jodel/Robin aircraft for 25 years. Following a poor experience with another maintenance company about 10 years ago, we decided to give Akki a try as they were a Robin Authorised Service Centre. Fast forward 10 years, and we are still with them and regard Joe and his team as friends as well as being our maintenance engineers. I guess that is as good a recommendation as anyone could give!
Key aspects of their service that we appreciate are (1) Quick turnrounds (2) Very experienced on Robins (3) Good spares stock (4) Reasonable charges. I know of other aircraft owners who use them regularly, so I am very happy to recommend them.

I have had a few dealings with Akki over the years and they have always been helpfull and honest.
As said they are a Robin Authorized service centre and are well versed in maintenance of Robin aircraft what I don't think they can do is major wooden aircraft repair, for that you would have to find another company.

As a point of note, to the best of my knowledge Mick Allen has only ever used Akki to do minor work on aircraft that are in for a respray.
He doesn't use Akki to release aircraft to service post respray.
