Strewth - another layer in the murky world this has revealed. Truly disgraceful if true that the CAA seems content to let this mess alone.
I understand about the 'face problem, but there must come a pint where the embarrassment plus potentially the threat of legal action will move them. Given their recently increased & somewhat aggressive seeming readiness to drop heavily on misdemeanours by ordinary private pilots going about relatively routine activities and making what in many cases are evidently honest mistakes, this is poor, to say the least.
