If the liquidators or agency acting on behalf of the liquidators is authorised to do so then yes. It could be part of a process involving raising cash to clear creditors beginning (hopefully) with their employees.

Saw VONC being loaded onto a roll on roll off ferry a few weeks ago looking in a very sorry state - ship was bound for Newark!

[wigglyamp]

I think you'll find it was VONB. VONC is still at Fairoaks.

[chevvron]

The one I saw departing Fairoaks had the reg covered over, but logically it would be VONB as it was often pushed out of the hangar and back in to re-position other aircraft.

[chevvron]

2 more being loaded up on low loaders.

VONA & VONC cancelled to USA

Have all salaries been paid up now?

As an aside, are the Harrods 76's still down?

[MightyGem]

Have all salaries been paid up now?

Don't know, but some(all??) are 6 months behind on pension contributions.

[Brilliant Stuff]

6 Months? Make it 11!

Premiair West London Heliport ?

Following receipt of a Premiair press release (12th July '13), it mentions a new West London Heliport to be launched sept 13 - Any ideas where this is?

if Luton & Stanstead can be classed as London airports, then maybe West London Heliport could be Blackbushe?

have tried google with no results.

[chevvron]

Fairoaks re-development is due to start Sep '13.
Present resident operators are Starspeed, Chobham Helicopters and HeliAir.

[Anthony Supplebottom]

chevvron - do you know the extent of the redevelopment and how is may affect the companies you've mentioned?

[wigglyamp]

Chevvron missed off Gama Engineering, presumably because they maintain but don't operate helicopters. Gama are the principal tenants for the new Fairoaks hangar development.

[Anthony Supplebottom]

wiggly - do you know much about the new development?

Is it just one new hangar or part of a bigger overall development and will any of the resident companies have to vacate their current premises?

[Adroight]

Premiair's brand new West (very) London Heliport was formerly known as Blackbushe Airport.

[chevvron]

As far as I know (I haven't seen a copy of the plans) it's a new maintenance hangar for GAMA with room for HeliAir on the north east corner of the airport. This will mean the hangar presently occupied by GAMA may and I repeat may become vacant.

[Snarlie]

It is Blackbushe. Using the precedent created by Ryanair when describing flights to capital cities such as Rome, Glasgow, Brussels etc a facility some distance from the advertised destination is employed as in London Oxford, London Southend and London Ashford. So Blackbushe is soon to become West London Heliport, it could also be the West Surrey or North Hampshire Heliport but it is still Blackbushe.

Not the first time the "London" tag has been applied at the 'Bushe, Blink do it when selling their "empty legs".

Presumably this is a (re)development of the existing (ex?)Premiair site?

[SpringHeeledJack]

Did my eyes deceive me ? A PremiAir S76 chugging in and out of Battersea today ?
