If you are being show round a company that has the administrators in, shouldn't you be shown round by one of their representatives and not "NC" ?

Depends on whom is being shown around and why.

From the Alan Mann Aviation Group web page (right next to the CAA logo):

Nigel Geoffrey Atkinson of Begbies Traynor (Central) LLP and Philip Francis Duffy of MCR were appointed joint administrators of Mann Aviation Group (Engineering) Limited on 10th May 2011.
The joint administrators act as agents of the company without personal liability.

Surely its time for Patriot to buy another lot?

Purchase?

Well, yes, but would you want to? Heaven only knows what you would be buying. I hear through the grapevine that more engineering staff have left (not paid etc etc) so how much would you give? Maybe £1.................... _ VFR

I heard that SHL is still trying to get two types back on an approval (206 & 333?)

Best of luck to the guys and girl's struggling so hard.

Should be good news for those remaining at Fairoaks. Expect some serious investment. Does the deal involve the whole group?

You seem to know very little of worth concerning this issue and all the matters involved yet persist in questioning the validity of posts when the clear answer to your question is before your eyes.

I smell troll

Mugwumps: 'Gama is the new owner'
I was told GAMA were only interested if they could buy the freehold to the hangar(s) rather than just the lease.

Ask the management you know and find out about Alan Mann Aviation Group, or look on their website.

GAMA Group / MAGE

GAMA Group have indeed purchased MAGE from the Administrators. They have also been given 'licence' to operate MAGE from its current hangar.

As I understand it, BBCC think they still hold the Lease on the hangars. However, their claim is spurious since the landlord reclaimed the lease due to default; ie non payment of rent. Writs are flying around. BBCC just don't know when they're beaten!

It can only be good news though that a well respected and professional organisation such as GAMA have taken over at MAGE. Especially good news for the few remaining, long suffering employees - at least they'll start getting paid on time!

Well good news for once. Not sure about the 'license' bit but no doubt there is more to it and what ever that is it has not deterred them so I assume not a problem.

Well that does not surprise me. BBCC are well known to use spurious arguments simply as a means of delaying issues to gain some legal advantage or mitigate disadvantage. They can respond reasonable though, if hit [figuratively speaking] with a very big stick.
Writs are flying around. BBCC just don't know when they're beaten!
Well if they don't by now then indeed the sky on their planet is indeed a very different colour from ours!
It can only be good news though that a well respected and professional organisation such as GAMA have taken over at MAGE. Especially good news for the few remaining, long suffering employees - at least they'll start getting paid on time!
I am sincerely pleased that matters are improving. Lets hope that all of this will in time be but a blip in their history.

Good luck MAGE/GAMA

When staff try to return to work on Tuesday should be interesting.
The Longmint hat seems to have plenty of tricks.

Does this mean the maintenance facility will move over from Farnborough or will the two sites work in parallel? If so, more parking space will be needed what with there already being 3 based BE200s and 3 PC12's (and another due to arrive soon) plus daily visitiing '200s and PC12s.
