Stop thief/ Sheffield

Cowl flap:

sure am owed money..

did i read somewhere about Shaun (Sean) Wilkinson - lost the thread, any ideas?

thanks for the BBC link but cannot find the news story.

do you know whether the aircraft are still at Sheffield City?

[SpeedbirdXK8]

Shunter - do you contact details of the debt recovery company?

[SpeedbirdXK8]

shatstabba (or whatever) - give me your address and I'll send you the bill..from what I can gather you are either Mr Cloud 9 or have something to do with the company or why else would you make such a comment, albeit ill informed.

[Shunter]

Speedbird -

Seizure notice on G-LFSK was served by C N Gaunt & Son (Bradford) on behalf of claimant Acceleris Marketing Communications Ltd. I can only presume Acceleris were behind the design of the flashy website which is allegedly being used to still take deposits from the unenlightened for ATPL groundschool that Cloud 9 isn't/wasn't approved to provide even if they were still anything other than a puff of smoke.

Shunter -

Thanks, was G-LFSK the one that 'got away' (so to speak)? Any news of its whereabouts?

I am told that G-FLOP is still at Sheffield, can you clarify this and were the others are?

[Shunter]

I believe that was the aircraft concerned, yes. FLOP is out of CofA. Apparently it went to Bagby. LFSJ and FLIP were also sighted arriving there.

[winchman]

G flop stayed put at EGSY and now has the prop removed

[SpeedbirdXK8]

Thanks Winchman: I am also told that the insurance has been cancelled and the CAA are being informed so with or without a prop none of the aircraft are going anywhere for the time being. I would guess after this fiasco they will have trouble getting insurance again.

[cowl flap]

so did the authorities track down the aircraft? Must have been tracked on radar.

[I-LBF]

LFSJ and FLIP were located at Sturgate Airfield, as Eastern Air Executive were owed money by C9 for engineering on the aircraft. I believe that the aircraft props were removed and were only to be put on when bill was paid.

So im not sure how Mr Wilkinson did it (if at all) managed to get both aircraft away, with having very little money.

With the Bailiff notice on LFSK, Mr Wilkinson has got many companies with C9 in the name somewhere, Cloud9 Leasing, Cloud9 Aviation etc. No doubt though he went bankrupt.

Still can't work out what he will do with his newly rescued aircraft, as im sure he can't afford a re-registration, CofA, Maintenance, and paint job. As if he looking for more people to rip off, then i wouldnt want to be in an aircraft with a reg of LFSK, id be worried it wasnt about to be shot down, or liable to disintergrate.

I think this thread should answer that one....

Anyone got £3m they want to lend him?

[thedangerousstuntman]

Is there any recent updates on this? I was wondering if they managed to find him or not?

[milette]

Difference between 'exaggeration' and pure 'bollocks'?

Was wondering how 2 court bailiffs could be turned into a "dozen coppers"?

Were you really there or are you just blowing diarrhea out the oral orifice?

What is your relationship to anyone involved -- or are you just someone hiding behind a fake name trying to to stir some crap?

As a new member, I find comments like yours and some of the others to more resemble the cat fights of jealous women than 'professional pilots' this group is supposed to be about.

Inquiring minds want to know...

[cowl flap]

re: millette

oh the irony

[Julian]

I think we have found him

[cowl flap]

So no response from Milette then. I wonder if Mr. Wilkinson is still going with his world class flying schools.

[OldManJoe]

To resurrect an old thread, Mr Wilkinson is involved with the startup of a flying school at Durham Tees Valley Airport. A FlyTeesside sign has gone up above the old Cleveland Flying School building with the phone number from the Cloud9 Aviation website.

Mr Wilkinson has recently registered the domain www.flyteesside.co.uk and www.flyteesside.com which shows his involvement in the new flying establishment.

Nothing else appears to have happened except the sign has been erected. The premises are still locked up and no one has been seen there.

So another dodgy outfit starts at Durham Tees Valley!!!

[youlookingatme]

True what they say about !!!! attracting !!!! and now Durham Tees Valley have Wilkinson to carry on from the failed CFS CFT Disley Aviation. Clearly the airport are so desperate they will do business with anyone. Maybe they are working on the principle that more bad publicity is better than no publicity. He is still a disqualified director so maybe time to call the insolvency service hotline if you has any info on him setting up a new company by proxy. Disqualified Directors Hotline Form

Probably another front for some dodgy deals and scams.

My advice- stay well away from flyteesside or whatever he calls himself now.

[cowl flap]

Oh dear, it just goes on and on. Although I see nothing on those websites as yet.

The swift departure of Cloud 9 is going into a book I am currently working on about aviation scandals/scams. The waggling of wings to South Yorkshire Police following departure from EGSY works very well indeed in print.
