On a lighter note, looking at his photo, you could never call him two faced - 'coz if he was, he wouldn't be wearing the one he's got

Thumbs down More Lyin' Air from Guv

Looks like Niel was a busy boy. According to this thread on airwhiners.net he was on the Concorde that went to Oshkosh. http://www.airliners.net/discussions...d.main/954420/ Funny that because according to his own bragging he was at the University of St Andrews 1988 doing his MA in Child Psychology. He was also in the University of South Africa in Pretoria at that time doing the same degree! And he was CEO of Transoceanic Airways in Lagos in 1988. And he was CEO of Chieftain Group Plc in Reading UK in 1988.

Busy boy considering we havent even mentioned the extracurricular activity he was probably doing as a post-graduate Child Psychology student. No doubt doing practical studies into his speciality subject, child sex abuse.

They let anyone on Concorde these days.

Now that its becoming clear on all the forums that he's really quite screwed in the head, you wonder how long his Ego can last out, without its usual topping up via supporters!

I wouldn't be surprised if this guy Robertson caves in, or more worryingly, blows out. Where does the guy actually reside? Does anyone know?

Might be a place to avoid in the next few weeks if enters meltdown!

The poor ****!

Question

I havent really been following this thread, but this caught my eye in the "Dunnunda" forums...

Anything to do with the bloke in question??

Absolutely nothing. Which is why I have removed the link. It is pure advertising.

As mentioned several times before in threads related, Lionair in Sri Lanka is a licensed, operational, airline and not related to Lionair Holdings plc or associated companies.

Cool

Having followed the Robertson saga during my entire time with Pprune and having at first sympathised with the 'Guv' and intrigued at the passions he arouses I have over quite a long period of time come to make up my own mind that Danny is not exagerating.
The man is beyond a joke. He appears to be a person who will deliberately mislead and misrepresent himself with the intention for personal gain. He appears not to be a harmless Walter Mitty rather than someone who will use his undoubted knowledge of the profession to misle people into believing deliberate untruths for the purpose of his own financial advancement. A conman by any other name.
People have been taken in by him and he would appear to prey not only upon gullability but the better nature of people who will give him the benefit of the doubt. There are always some of those. I guess most of us are suckers at heart, a shame to see that there are always those who would take advantage of that.

Anyone else notice this in the appointments wanted section of last weeks ( 22-28 Oct ) Flight International :

"AIRLINE MANAGER

37 , proven success record in Schedule and Charter Airline Business, looking for new challenge in Commercial Director or Director Sales and Marketing of a regional, Low Cost or Charter Airline worldwide. Special strengths in pricing and distribution, Change Management, Optimising Cost/Revenue Ratio, Route Development . Complete CV available ..."

Any similarity with our friend must surely be coincidental ?

Although the Guv has remained uncharacteristically quiet on the failure of his own inability to produce results, this does not stop him pontificating about the capability of others - in this instance Delsey Airlines (although the entire commentary bears a remarkable similarity to the content of this thread ).



sas23...

Pressclub, I'm with you on this. From the outset, this company was a joke. Who in their right mind would design their fleet around the aircraft that their son in law can fly? Who would not have a proper business plan, prepared by experts, that they can gauge their performance against? Who would not have a proper reservations system in place, backed up with an extensive marketing campaign well before lauinch? Who would not even provide onboard catering and inflight entertainment on a longhaul flight?

What a bunch of monkeys!
More crap from the Guv aka. sas23

Unfortunately you have to pay to use this other forum, (so the Guv will be keeping his "existing, free" identity for a a long time, I'm sure). Also you'd have to spend all your time with adolescent spotters and sychophantic neverbees, like the one in question here.

In the words of Victor Meldrew..."It's UNBELIEVABLE!"

Have you ever heard so much sanctimonious drivel? Sas says...

<you don't seem to appreciate that it is because of FvG's complete and utter lack of any airline management credibility that Delsey are in the situation they are today....This is the third time he has started an airline...and the third time someone had to step in and take it over...The guy is a bobejaan> end of quote

That was reported as posted 19:35 04/11/02

This guy is truly unbelievable!

Questions and Answers for NDR;

Q1. What airline management credability do you have?
A1. None whatsoever, and certainly less than Mr FvG, because he did at least set up a REAL airline, not one virtual, ficticious one.

Q2. He has started THREE REAL airlines...How many REAL airlines has NDR started?
A2. Zilch....NOT ONE! NADA!

Q3. Has anyone yet had to step in and take DElsey over yet?
A3. Not gone titsup yet, or so I believe, but there again, in your case, If you haven't set one up, nobody can step in to take it over! Another one up to FvG.

Q4. What ius a bobejaan? Does it climb trees or hide in burrows dug in the ground, like all real SAS troopers are taught to hide and avoid capture?
A4. Eagerly awaiting answers. NDR, do us a favour and get an alter to answer these here, cause I'm dying to see how you handle this latest.


Mrs Meldrew is calling...."coming darling"...Toodlepip

Regarding the comment some while back in the thread about contact through business, my business was contacted regarding products for an airline (I cannot remmeber which one but it had a Prestwick number)

Luckily by the time the reader reply service card reached me that telephone number was unobtainable. I then did some internet searches and started to discover things similar to this thread.

Had I actually succeeded in flogging all the way to Prestwick for a meeting I would have wasted an airfare and, had I been taken in a little I would have also wasted many thousands of pounds in development work for zero possible return on the investment.

One or two fantasists like this can destroy an otherwise sound small business.

I have since advised all my business associates of the name of the person who made this fantasy enquiry.

Cranfield anyone?

The Guv claims to have been at Cranfield - there must be someone on Pprune who currently is working or studying there. He claims (on Friends Reunited) to have been there in 1997 - can someone check the validity of this claim and then inform the Pro-vice chancellor of Cranfield (or whoever is the boss!) I am sure they would prefer not to be associated with a charlatan.

Yes but under what name? Still, surely they would remember a self opinionated motor mouth even after 5years.

So far all we have here is innuendo and third party hearsay. Not one single hard fact that shows that the Guv has conned anyone or done something unspeakable with someone's kiddies. How about Danny getting the ball rolling by naming the person he says he saw giving the Guv a cheque at a Bash?
