The explanations start to get ridiculous
1) Is it being suggested that David Ibbotson was only flying for expenses trying to suggest that the flight was legal?
2) Would the flight had been legal even if the selected pilot, David Henderson, had been the pilot?
3) Is it suggested that this isn’t illegal public transport because David Henderson is his personal pilot flying his personal aircraft?
4) Does the statement that he had no part in the selection of the pilot or the aircraft depend on him losing control of David Henderson who started making his own decisions?
5) Did this loss of control also occur on the other occasions that David Ibbotson is reported to have flown people connected to football?
