I saw this chap's face on the front of our local paper again this week, and wondered how long it would be until they were reporting that another of his start up airlines had gone "bust" (/not really ever existed), as his previous attempts had after he launched his first aged 18. Well this time, to trump it all, at the grand age of 23, he's being investigated for fraud...

A sad case, but he needs to be dealt with. Huh

I'm not overly sure why, but the thing that caught my eye the most was the term "Economic Crimes Unit", I didn't even know something like that existed. Just shows how different Europe and North America really are.

In the U.S., the 'Economy' itself is the crime

I don't see the problem. Isn't it just another 'virtual' airline?  Roll Eyes

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

I think a short Club-Fed holiday will sort this twit out Roll Eyes

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Yes, but unfortunately, if it goes as usual, only while he is in their custody. Then it's back to normal.

Too bad they can't redirect some of that ingenuity.  There may well be something of value under his surface veneer of mendacity.
