MAGE rebranding

its great to see MAGE being given a chance to escape the clutches of the BBCC idiots. A real shame they ever found their way into aviation and sooner we are all rid of them the better. They are not good for the Alan Mann Group or any other company they have come into contact with. Look at our poor collegues at Sterling, they have had to pay the ultimate price. I feel really sorry for JH and his crew that had supported him for so long. Things at (very soon ex MAGE) are moving at a great pace and the new owners are a breath of fresh air and give all of the survivors there something to look forward to and believe in. Lets hope we see the back of Longmint very soon.

ExDesigner: an excellent post and one which all involved may find themselves in agreement with.I am pleased that all has worked out well in this case. Its all about people in the end. Something that escapes the Fxxkwits completely and which started their demise. Hopefully it will see them off. This is one blow against severe arrogance.

Suspension of AMH

Sad but not surprised to see this in the latest ORS 2. The Type B Operating Licence held by Alan Mann Helicopters Limited has been suspended with effect from 31 August 2011. Cant be anything left for BBCC at Fairoaks now.

Longmint

Does anyone know the result of the latest winding-up case between Longmint Aviation and RBS that was due to be heard earlier this week over the lease of the Fairoaks hangars? Did BBCC manage another deferment?

I heard that they never turned up. But how true that is i dont know.
They (AMAG) have vacated their premises at fairoaks and made staff redundant.

Also heard a rumour that Fast at Thruxton might be on the decline or rather pushed by BBC

I have been a customer at Fast Helicopters since 1999, and was informed by them last week that the operation is to close at Thruxton on the 11th November. Very sad but not surprising as it has been in steady decline for the last two years. It was once a thriving company.

Very sad indeed, as it always is when once thriving companies flounder. However, though they might have been perceived to be in decline the two year point - coincidentaly - is about the time a number of other, "once thriving companies" - in the same group - started to falter. Let me see.........round about the time BBC started fidling with them.

Hmmmm....can't be many aviation orientated companies left in the group now.

Dunno.

Which one? I think you will have to be a bit more specific.
ALAN MANN LIMITED Dissolved
ALAN MANN AVIATION GROUP LIMITED
ALAN MANN HELICOPTERS LIMITED
MANN AVIATION GROUP (ENGINEERING) LIMITED [GAMA]
MANN AVIATION LIMITED

If you read earlier posts then there is an answer for you.

Where did all the money go??
Your guess is as good as anyone's but perhaps LMA made loans to other non group companies [they have a lot] that have not yet been repaid. I'm sure we will find out eventually.

Best Wishes

Though I cannot find any formal notice regarding that entity the following has been published and since Longmint Aviation are the parent of AM and the fact that Fast at Thruxton are in demise soon to disappear, it seems to me that BBC are indeed on the down slope rapidly. Even the relevant web site for AM has been pulled deliberately and references on Fasts site removed.

I'd suggest to you that it would be wise to give all with any connection to the group a wide berth.

Alan Mann Helicopters

Alan Mann Helicopters at Fairoaks has closed. The staff have all gone and the offices emptied. Very sad.

Longmint aviation have gone into receivership. Tenants trading from Fast's building in Shoreham were given a memo last week asking them to continue paying rent to Fast based on the claim that Fast have a 'secure tenancy' on the building.

Can someone explain to me why Longmint bought TAMS, Stirling, Alan Mann and Fast? Was it to asset strip them and let them fold? Did Longmint actually make any money from these companies?
