Is the rumour about a new owner true?

[Brilliant Stuff]

Not a rumour, but fact.

[misterbonkers]

I heard they were heading for a hangar at Fairoaks...!

[chevvron]

I understand it's only the 'hangar queens' which have been moved.

This is not possible because,

Aircraft are landing, aircraft are taking off.

and,

I heard they were heading for a hangar at Fairoaks...!

unless its unserviceable, why the heck would you put an S76 on a low loader instead of flying it from Blackbushe to Fairoaks?

[chevvron]

I heard the one(s) being moved by road had been 'robbed' of parts.

[misterbonkers]

A low loader probably costs less than employing one of those S76 freelance pilots...

[chevvron]

According to Farnborough-aviation-group.co.uk - Login (Blackbushe thread) it was VONA, VONB and VONE in addition to VONC.

[g-mady]

why does every aviation company that has a financial difficulties seem to lead back to Fairoaks on some way!

MADY

[chevvron]

I couldn't possibly comment.

[Qualityman]

Haven't seen them at Fairoaks yet but that's only because I haven't had a nose around the Hangars today!
I did however see the aircraft mentioned moving up the M3 on low loaders towards Fairoaks undercover of darkness on Wednesday and Thursday evening.

Very sad.

[Art E. Fischler-Reisen]

A little bird informed me some time ago that Premiair had lost their credit rating with some spares suppliers.

Obviously, this was just a rumour back then. But obviously, if an aircraft is serviceable then it would be flown to a new owner/buyer, rather than ignominiously stuck on a low-loader and driven away in the dark.

[chevvron]

Rumour is the new owner is Goodwood based. If they move there and with Starspeed already gone, what will happen to that hangar?

[Anthony Supplebottom]

It will probably be up for rent/sale/redevelopment.

[expatflyer]

The auctions would soon fill the hangars with cars!

[ShyTorque]

One must wonder if a certain S-76 in a nice maroon paint scheme will need to go looking for a new base.

[Anthony Supplebottom]

When I raised a question in that area the response was -

... nothing to do with PremiAir (other than occasionally borrowing pilots).

So if that answer is correct then the maroon heli should be just fine.

[Palma]

Maroon S76

Maybe Mr Graham Avery (whoever he may be) has done a deal with Brenda?

[expatflyer]

Here's a bit about Mr Avery.
