August 5, 2016, 8 years ago
Within a few hours Bruce Dickinson switches from Iron Maiden frontman to the chairman of Cardiff Aviation. But he is as upfront in both roles.
WalesOnline reports that Dickinson believes the Aviation Enterprise Zone at St. Athan has massively unfulfilled potential and "one or two people need to get their finger out."
On Tuesday, the day after he turns 58, he will meet with the Welsh Government to discuss making St. Athan a success and then fly a plane down to Africa.
Cardiff Aviation, which Dickinson established three years ago at the Twin Peaks hangar at St. Athan, is an aircraft maintenance repair and overhaul as well as a pilot training business. It is the development side of the business that is proving most fruitful. The company has helped set-up and supply the national airline of Djibouti.
