Its good news in the sense that a lot of people won't be lost to display flying-however, as you say, the CAA will get their teeth into this, and we will no doubt face more restrictions. Its funny because reading the trial reports, its seemed that the prosecution Aviation Medicine Expert had 'trumped' the defence one. In my own mind anyway.
