Folks,
One of the more idiotic "determinations" years ago was that, as an AOC required a Standard Category C.of A aircraft, and as aerial photography was Airwork, therefor (in AU) required an AOC, photographs/filming could only take place from a Standard Cat. Cof A aircraft, therefor approximately 100% of pics. taken from/of "Warbirds" (and of many other aircraft) constituted evidence of an offence under Reg.206.
All in the interests of : "Safety Is Our First Priority", you understand. Nothing to do with: "We're not happy 'till you'r not happy".
"Interestingly", the CASA perX who pursued this was of the view that the determination extended to the subject --- ie: It was only "legal" to take photographs of Standard Cat. C.of A. aircraft in the air.
Gaaawwwd!! What a lawless lot we are in this country, with wholesale committing of such criminal acts. I wonder if the "offense" is per pic.? Is there a statute of limitation??
Tootle pip!!
PS: As I expect most of you know, NA T6/Harvard or a NA-T28 are favorite camera platforms. With the exception of a couple of Canadian built Harvards, none have a Standard Cat. C.of A.
