What evidence? A cameraphone that may or may not be in Zoom mode.
The CAA's comments that they will be looking into it?
500ft is less than 2 football pitches. No height restriction, apart from the 5 and which one did they transgress?
Evidence, not assumption please.
Always some clueless experts spoiling for a hanging.
If and I say if, they are deemed by the authorities to be guilty, so be it, but armchair Judge advocating Idiot of the year may well look in a mirror, should there be no prosecution.
The act of being an idiot is not covered by the ANO so nomination for any such award is not related to pursuing a prosecution,.
As for a minimum height rule and endangering flight, I seem to recall from my Air Law lectures that there is legislation in place to deter both, so its for CAA to determine if any offence has apparently been committed and whether it is in the public interest to pursue a prosecution.
