Anyone heard what's happening at this place and with the owner, he owes me cash and is now not answering his phone, has he left the area ? Does he own the club ? Hence will be back ? Does he have any planes there now ?

I think his wife is called pamela,
When the twin had a prange, it was registered to pamela pigg. they obviously have since been married.
If its the same family, Im sure the 'piggs' have some car dealerships around the area, maybe worth a scout about there.

Cash owed
MiddlesB,
I'm not having a go here....
Did you pay up front, despite all the warnings on here?
If so, what could ppruners have possibly done to prevent you from giving him that money?
Seriously, can you think of anything more that we could do to prevent someone else being in your position? Not just with this guy but with all schools.
What would it have taken to make you not pay up front?

As this is only his 4th post I imagine he's just asked too late.
I don't know what more we can do here at Pprune to warn people about paying up front. It needs an industry wide campaign. Perhaps it should be one of the requirements for the approval of an ATO that they do not accept up front payments.

Dispite the harsh sounding comments on here, we all feel for you. You seem to have become yet another victim of a small group of shysters that constantly drag the UK flying training industry down.
I hope it wasn't a life changing sum, because i'm afraid that it's barely worth even trying to get it back.

Mach, he joined in January and started asking about this in July.
Perhaps it would provide a more balanced view if we knew when the money changed hands.
I do pay for my flying up front, in ten hour blocks. I can stand to lose that amount of money in the very, very unlikely event of the club going under. Part of my confidence is based on the fact that the people running the club concerned, really are are unable to disappear.
For a lot of small flying clubs, it's a bit easier to do a moonlight. That's why I wanted the input from someone who has been had over.
I doubt that the CAA would entertain such a block on the financial viability of a business, but we must surely all agree that "something" needs done.

Drove past the other day the poor old Seneca is still sat on stand 9 minus one engine, presume the second engine is probably corroded by now after not been started for two years. I always thought Peel airports were quick at dealing with things. This Seneca should of been sold or scrapped months ago.
