Has it occured to anyone else that perhaps Harrison Senior has read what young Thomas has written and thought that it wise to get the prep work in for a plee of insanity before the writ turns up

Incidently I do wish Thomas would sort out that rather tedious thread on the Economic downturn. It is so full of well thought out reasoned auguments by logical posters backed up by sound research... come on Thomas it has got to be a scam...what do you think !

Mad Jock, thats a very valid point! I heard of a Capt divert to LGW in foggy evening so he could get a Maccy Dees in the crew bus on the long drive back to base, sod minimum fuel that guys got his priorities right. Personally I also think that Nandos is soon to play a vital part of flight planning.

Where has Mad Jock's post gone????

Sorry I thought better of it.

I will repost it for you now.

The MacDonalds / Burger King option for diversions.

You are sitting in the hold at Bristol wx pants. Exeter and Cardiff are valid diverts.

Exeter you can get a bogging baked tattie. Cardiff you can get a BK served by a buxom welsh lass.

Which do you choose?

No offence meant to you Army types.

He might slip through the recruiting net (god forbid he might even get in to the RAF!), as you will know, there are plenty of junior officers who somehow managed to be there - to the wonderment of others.

Jolly good if he is fake!

Thanks buddy!

No one has even mentioned how Thomas will get on with the pile of warm slop or as its better known, crew food.

He needs to get on with the crew, prior to being offered food....

I totally forgot about the poor Cabin Crew! I wonder what our little friends' opinion is on them.

I think he will be wearing his food more than he will be eating it if his attitude is anything to go by.

Is the season open on trolls? Can I have a shot, or do we need a licence?

I'm just glad that this person is clearly going straight to BA. He wouldn't lower himself to GA, so i won't ever have to deal with him.

You have no idea of my family’s history, which has had more impact on this nation than you would be able to understand- and I certainly don’t brag about it.
Wonder if he means this?

Harrison retained his radical political ideas and became a member of the Fifth Monarchist group that sought the abolition of tithes, an increase in the help for the poor and the release of debtors from prison. In 1653 he was dismissed from the army. He was also imprisoned four times between 1653 and 1658 on suspicion of involvement in various plots against Oliver Cromwell and his government.
On the Restoration Harrison was an obvious target for the Royalists. Harrison refused to flee the country and was therefore like other Regicides arrested and brought to the Tower of London. At his trial in October 1660 he was found guilty of treason and was hung, drawn and quartered.

Just found out about this thread and couldn't resist sticking my oar in...

Im a student at BCFT now. They are a bloody good FTO and I've got nothing but praise for the way they operate. At no time have I felt mislead or hoodwinked by any "marketing scam".

Whilst I really don't make a the unprofessional habit of slagging of people for there opinions I have to say that Mr Harrisson or whatever you name is......your wrong and a Class A tit! Congratulations and thanks to your family for saving the human race!

I call Troll folks....don't feed them anymore!

Im a student at bcft who has done all their training with them. I think its a fantastic school, bloody good instructors!!

What exactly have you done for our nation? I feel compelled to ask because i think your a collosal (male sexual organ).

To come on here and slate a perfectly good school and attempt to tarnish there reputation is treason like.

Hope to hear from you soon, as it will no doubt be entertaining reading.

Where is your chosen school? I hope its BCFT just so i get to meet you...

Following on from my earlier post I was talking to a few guys at BCFT and was wondering if Thomas would care to answer the following: -

1) Have you actually sat in the aircraft that you so hastily dismiss as "Manky"??? I have been in most of them and they're all well maintained and bloody nice to fly! Im not sure what you expect from training aircraft but its worth bearing in mind that one of Pro Flight's aircraft actually belongs to BCFT. But im sure thats horrid and manky so make sure you ask for one with hand stitched interior and gold plated intruments...what with ebing so connected to royalty I wouldn't ecpect anything less if I were you!

2) Where did you get this figure of 5 aircraft at BCFT from??? They OWN about 14 and lease only 1.

3) With Pro Flight parking their aircraft next to BCFT did you not think that so unprofessionally slating an FTO in this way is hitting a bit close to home?

4) How does it feel to have succeeded in pissing off so many people in one fowl swoop with your arrogant and demeening comments?

Sadly Thomas, unless you have fooled us all and are indeed a troll looking for a fight, I think you may have done your career some serious harm before it has even begun. Perhaps it might be an idea to go away for a few years, get a taste for the real world and pay a rather good surgeon some serious dosh to remove your head from your arse and the silver spoon from your mouth. Maybe then the aviation industry will be a bit more welcoming and you can see how us common folk fight our way through training!

Flying Squid,
Would you like to post the Registration marks of the 14 Aircraft that BCFT "owns" here and run them throught the UK CAA register search to see who actually owns them.
I found 4 PA28, 1 x C172, 1 x C152 (think its been written off though), 1 x PA28R Arrow and 1 BE76 owned by BFlying Ltd. Thats 8 Aircraft.

The thread started with a complaint that BCFT's Advertising was misleading. Seems the Advertising Standards council agrees. See http://www.asa.org.uk/asa/about/ and look for the Adjudications and Informally resolved complaints for 7th May.

Whiskey1 - Great detective work.

Hmmm interesting, has anyone noticed that BCFT's latest add in this months Pilot Mag is no longer the "Integrated Modular" advert that they had run for so long. All referennce to the "Integrated Modular" has gone.
Perhaps this is what the ASA Informally resolved complaint was about?

Still don't see the problem though, only a complete raving idiot with zero common sense and the inability to read properly would have taken the advert as misleading. ****e, maybe this little Thomas boy is real.

Happy Landings. NGB

Flying Squid,

I don't normally get involved in discussions like this, but I feel that I need to put some facts straight.

1. None of 'Proflight's' (PAT) aircraft are owned by BCFT. As Whiskey1 suggests why don't you check out all our registrations on the CAA register search.

2. I don't know what you are trying to imply by your point 3, but we have no connection with Mr Harrison in any way. In fact, I do not even recall having met the gentleman.

Flying squid I suggest you are from the same school of muppetry as Master Harrison.
If you look carefully you will find that three schools now park their fleets in the same area of the airport.

The only aircraft on the field that has any gold plating in it is the 747sp in the basco hangar!!

Well lucky you Linda. Lets hope this idiot doesn't turn up at Pro Flight. My point was aimed at him not Pro Flight themselves. If you read back through you'll see that he intends to train with you so if thats the case it was a bit silly of him to come on here having such a randomly bizarre and factually incorrect rant about BCFT. If it's not the case then, as I said, lucky you. The industry could do without morons like that!

As for the Aircraft ownership/leasing etc etc etc...thats just what I'd heard at BCFT but to be honest as long as we get to fly I don't think many students (including myself) actually care who owns the bloody things. There are definitely more than 8! Dont forget that theres also Bournemouth Flying Club which is all part of the same set up. Just because they arent registered to BCFT it doesnt mean that they arent owned by the same people. But thats not really the point of this thread is it so back to Thomas....

Hummmmmmmm, PAT is a very good school, BCFT is not bad either, as I have already said.

Lets not turn this thread into this school is better than that. Flying Squid, should have checked his facts, but to be honest not many on here ever do.

I think that Flying Squid might be a bit angry by Thomas's posts, (who incidently has been active on PPrune early this morning,but no posting) and in haste said things he did not mean to.

If Thomas Harrison is for real then I think we need to set up a 'Bash the Toff' thread

School of muppetry???? Where did that come from???? What has the number of FTO's parking their aircraft on the same patch of land got to do with anything???

Right...before this somehow turns on me lets get one thing clear here shall we....

Im just sticking up for what is a very good FTO after Master Harrisson came on here to give it a kick in having never trained there, never flown their aircraft and then has the bloody cheek to assume that we are all beneath him because he's had tea at the Palace! (aparantly!!!)
