SUNDAY MAIL EXCLUSIVE: Brian Goldie, now using a new name, has set up Worldwide Aviation Ltd after his last firm folded and left people out of pocket.

A CONVICTED fraudster has set up a new company despite shuttering his last one with a string of debt and allegations of fraud.

Last year pilot Neil Hawkyard told how Goldie had stolen £50,000 from him using another company he had set up called Spin Aviation based in Prestwick. “I’ve been let down, lost thousands of pounds and I am probably not the only one. Now he has set up another company and presumably plans to do the same thing again.

Neil said Goldie convinced him to invest in a fictitious mining project and claimed he was a well-off businessman involved in the transport of precious metals. When he asked for his money back Goldie stopped returning his calls. A plane owned by the firm was abandoned at Prestwick Flight Centre after Goldie fled allegedly owing thousands in unpaid bills.

In 1992 Goldie was alleged to have stolen money while working for the Royal Bank of Scotland in Edinburgh. Warrants issued for his arrest were later cancelled.
