I welcomed Andrew Ffrench’s report into Martin Halstead’s latest failed attempt to get his mini-airline service off the ground (no pun intended).

I remember it was about five years ago when he attempted his maiden flight service out of Kidlington – whoops! London Oxford Airport – and that too failed to develop.

Could this in fact be the same Martin Halstead who attempted to revive that musical instrument shop in High Street?

I believe that the shop was called Delicious Music or DMR Music. Sadly, like Mr Halstead’s airline, that shop is not currently trading.

Perhaps it was a little premature dubbing him ‘Baby Branson’.

Unlike Martin Halstead, Sir Richard is a successful entrepreneur. In fact, Mr Halstead might consider working for his nickname’s namesake.
