:02:04. > :02:09.but behind the image these `re tough times for Redding's most
:02:10. > :02:12.recognisable resident. Sincd he made his fortune in printing, Sir John
:02:13. > :02:17.Madejski's interests have bden varied. He became chairman of
:02:18. > :02:25.Redding football club in 1980 and spent millions on the staditm that
:02:26. > :02:35.bears his name. As the UK economy went into decline, so did hhs
:02:36. > :02:39.fortune. He has built up a lixed portfolio of hotels, radio station
:02:40. > :02:43.and property. We have looked at 21 properties he has a share in. Three
:02:44. > :02:50.have gone bust, 17 are making losses and just one is turning a profit.
:02:51. > :02:53.The majorities of the companies he has an interest him has neg`tive net
:02:54. > :02:59.worth. They are worth less now than when he invested in them. There are
:03:00. > :03:04.significant losses. His ventures have included the Sackville property
:03:05. > :03:10.group which reported millions of pounds of loss in 2012. There have
:03:11. > :03:16.been no files since. Redding foot boat club made a loss of ?2.3
:03:17. > :03:20.million last year and there is the hotel and conference centre which
:03:21. > :03:25.turned a corner recording a profit. So how much has Sir John Madejski
:03:26. > :03:31.lost? At its height, the Sunday Times Rich list estimated hd was
:03:32. > :03:39.worth ?400 million. Last ye`r that figure had fallen by 300 million. I
:03:40. > :03:43.have known him for more than a decade and our researchers talked to
:03:44. > :03:48.his advisers each year before we reach our valuation. It is `ll
:03:49. > :03:53.realisable assets we are looking at the market valuation of companies
:03:54. > :04:01.properties. As a businessman, as he lost his touch? He is struggling to
:04:02. > :04:05.balance the books up a moment. He is honest about that, probably thinking
:04:06. > :04:11.at the moment, will I be in the next Rich list rushed to mark it is his
:04:12. > :04:18.investment in property that have been hit hardest. Known as Lr
:04:19. > :04:23.Redding, he had big ambitions for the town. The redevelopment was part
:04:24. > :04:27.of his plans, but in 2011, he pulled out. A look at Sackville properties
:04:28. > :04:34.gives an indication at how luch trouble he is in. Total grotp assets
:04:35. > :04:40.of ?37 million, but that's of 8 million, including 52 mediul pounds
:04:41. > :04:44.owed to Royal Bank of Scotl`nd. We have been unable to establish if
:04:45. > :04:51.that has been paid back. Thd crash in 2008 hit lots of developdrs. I
:04:52. > :04:58.met up with a commercial commentator. Commercial rents in
:04:59. > :05:02.some parts of the country, hncluding the golden corridor, come under
:05:03. > :05:08.pressure still. We are some way of getting a resolution. Companies like
:05:09. > :05:12.Sackville properties have when fitted, but when they are down on
:05:13. > :05:16.their luck and the market slells blood, there is nothing mord
:05:17. > :05:23.unforgiving than commercial developments. This site helps to
:05:24. > :05:29.explain when much of the lost millions went. His printing company
:05:30. > :05:37.was taken over and when it went under he lost ?80 million of his own
:05:38. > :05:47.wealth. It is not known how much Redding football club has cost him.
:05:48. > :05:50.He found a Russian millionahre which went sour. He said he was kden to
:05:51. > :06:00.leave the financial burden behind. It is a concern, because we know the
:06:01. > :06:03.cost of running a full all club is absolutely immense. Of course,
:06:04. > :06:09.people with that sort of money are few and far between. It is critical
:06:10. > :06:17.we find somebody, but the sdarch goes on. Hopes to return to the
:06:18. > :06:21.Premier League with broken when they failed to get into the Premher
:06:22. > :06:25.League. Most people think hd is rich and has lots of money. He h`s never
:06:26. > :06:30.thrown it around, he has always been prudent. But a lot of supporters
:06:31. > :06:38.will want someone to come in and bankroll the club. To compete at
:06:39. > :06:43.this level, you need deep pockets. Where does this leave him? He is
:06:44. > :06:46.still rich but not as comfortably off as he once was. If the

:07:24. > :07:37.The fire, under control and the flats being made safe, but `t its
:07:38. > :07:42.peak, this fire was severe `nd developing. Hampshire Fire Service
:07:43. > :07:47.said it had to be fought aggressively. As the flames spread
:07:48. > :07:51.from a flat to a communal h`llway, people became trapped in thdir
:07:52. > :07:54.homes, seeking safety on thdir balconies. I went to the front door
:07:55. > :08:00.thinking that is where I wotld bleed. I look through the Spice
:08:01. > :08:03.Girls and saw the flames coling across the ceiling and coming to my
:08:04. > :08:07.front door. I close the door behind me and got to the window. Wd banged
:08:08. > :08:13.on the window so the firemen knew we were there. Within five minttes we
:08:14. > :08:20.were out of the property behng taken away from it. The damage was
:08:21. > :08:25.extensive with one flat at ht. The person living here left the front
:08:26. > :08:32.door open as they fled, which meant the fire spread. But other front
:08:33. > :08:35.doors stood up to the flames. What we can see is the differencd closing
:08:36. > :08:40.the door behind you can makd. The properties with the doors closed
:08:41. > :08:47.have limited damage. You ard safer in your flat rather than coling out
:08:48. > :08:54.here. With the clean`up unddr way, residents from five flats bding
:08:55. > :08:54.found temporary accommodation. Investigators are trying to
:08:55. > :09:00.establish how the fire started. Sussex Police are appealing
:09:01. > :09:02.for help in catching a rapist who attacked a wom`n
:09:03. > :09:06.at a cemetery in Littlehampton. The 44`year`old woman had bden

:09:09. > :09:11.on the evening of May 3rd. She reported
:09:12. > :09:13.the attack four days later. Detectives say the man was of mixed
:09:14. > :09:18.race, in his early 20s with short dark hair, spoke broken English
:09:19. > :09:28.and was wearing dark clothing. New investment, new jobs,

:09:48. > :09:55.these were the state`of`the`art aircraft. The show itself knows it
:09:56. > :09:58.must move with the times. Shmply putting aircraft into the ahr and
:09:59. > :10:03.saying how fantastic it is, is no longer good enough. We have to look
:10:04. > :10:08.around at Goodwood, Silverstone and suchlike, to realise we need to
:10:09. > :10:11.raise the bar. Planes remain the unique selling point but thd public
:10:12. > :10:18.will find extra seating and new presenters using X screen TVs to
:10:19. > :10:23.link into the usual displays. While it has been the aircraft of the past
:10:24. > :10:29.on display here, the big attraction will be the plane of the future The
