Low level route.
Hi all,
Just about every day, sometimes a few times a day, i see what looks to be a black A109 fly up and down the low level route between Manchester and Liverpool. Just curious to who it is? Were its going?
Does any one have any info?
Cheers Heliplates.

Its belongs to Bardsley construction based in Dukinfield Manchester.
Not sure who the pilot is. I was teaching one of their employees to fly. He got to around forty hours and they stopped him and employed a proper pilot.
Old man Roland Bardsley did the same with one of his employees and they flew round in a 407 for many years before he was sacked for refurbing his whole house and half the neigbourhood with company funds so the rumour has it. You will see it coming in and out of Tatton park because that is where he lives.

Slight thread creep, but G-STGR is Stobart Groups A109 and the site in Warrington is likely to be their Appleton Thorn site just south of Warrington - which is where all their Admin is done (nominally a head office of sorts).

I'm glad this is called a 'rumour' network! G-WRBI only occasionally flies up and down the corridor by the way - certainly nowhere near every day.

i hear that it is sometimes flown by an ex mil pilot but he doesnt like it much ....he prefers a more gentlemanly ride in a beautiful red squirrel . ( i see it every night flying to the devonshire arms pub and coming out late and wobbling a lot . I think he may have a problem..)
