Searches, police, book throwing.....it sounds just like the actions we hear of when British pilots fly into airfields in the old soviet block, India etc etc.

Yes he broke Welsh Coronavirus Regulations but not English ones so please leave that to one side. Are we arguing his landing justified reopening Tyburn or his refusal to stay overnight?

Yes an honest question, but I will put my helmet on in case
Does the military airfield being closed at the time and WIP on the landing runway not count against the pilot as well?
