My understanding is that the CAA issued a notice prohibiting the aircraft from flight (until presumably signed off by an engineer) under their powers contained in paragraph 232 (2) of the ANO. The prosecutor was not experienced in aviation matters/law doubtless giving rise to the dramatic comments, the defendant represented himself.

The case originally came before the magistrates who considered that their powers were inadequate (maximum fine £5,000) The case was committed to the Crown Court for sentence where the maximum is an unlimited fine or 2 years imprisonment

so this chap employs lots of people in a land begging on its knees, helps a fellow aviator in distress, and this is how he is treated?? this culture is why britain plc is bankrupt. and doubtless all the pen pushers will quote this law and that law but this chap pays your wages and this is how he is treated. look at the big picture.

And South Wales plod don't have better things to do with their helicopter.

No doubt Silsoe Sid and his ex military chums on another jolley to have a go at us recreational chopper pilots.

If I was this guy I'd sell the shops and move to somewhere more friendly.

The good news in Norfolk is the police helicopter is no longer seen in the skies

bolkow;

I am sure this is the same individual who annoyed the police when he followed a cessna aircraft (Cambrian Air) also out of swansea that crashed into a field in the Gorseinon area last year, and retrieved and flew an injured person from that aircraft out and away as the emergency services, police ambulance and fore brigade arrived, including the local air ambulance.

Bronx;
According to Google, in March 2010 Chris Kiley the pilot in this story heard a distress call from a Cessna when flying in the local area and immediately went to see if he could help. He found the Cessna upside down in a field. The FI and student both had facial injuries, thankfully minor. The FI stayed with the Cessna while he flew the student to hospital. He was airborne just before the first of the emergency services arrived. The Ambulance Service then took the FI to the hospital, the report doesn't say whether by road or air ambulance.
I'd say that shows he's public spirited, not an anorak.

Any chance of a link to the connection between that incident and CK?
