+1: on the face of it, the pilot got off lightly, will likely get a fine and some soet of reprimand. The Base Commander decided letting him take off was OK, as the one with all the info, I sure ha made a pragmatic and fair decision. I'm sure it's not as if we don-t know the pilot or how to find their plane....Nicely done 3 cheers for British common sense :-))
