I think all I was trying to say is that what matters is the insurance company view if there was an incident. Unless you do something truly dreadful, the worst the CAA can do is a fine. An insurance company can do something far worse, and they do it routinely (not paying out on a 3rd party claim is enough to ruin anybody's day).
So perhaps it's better to discreetly put a question to one's insurance broker, not to the CAA who most of the time don't reply at all.
Sadly, people sue very readily today. The school my kids go to is considering banning videos of certain events. It's quite ridiculous but it's the age we live in. It would be unwise to fly boy scouts for anything resembling a reward today - isn't there a rule for PPL cost sharing that the flight must not be advertised outside the club notice board?
Incidentally, I don't think a CPL is enough; you now need an AOC also. I was discussing this very topic with someone who knows the rules the other day; a CPL alone is actually pretty useless.
