Last week the principal of the meatbombers at Barwon Heads was arrested for the alleged assault of one of the members of the Barwon Heads Safety Committee.
It is alleged another member of the committee has taken out a restraining order against the principal and the chief parachute instructor.
The owner and operator of the airfield has set up the committee with representatives of all the users including the meatbombers to draw up a set of operating rules (taken from CASA and APF regs) that must be adhered when operating at the airfield, it is understood the meatbombers refused to comply.
Two people from CASA and one from the APF arrived last Wednesday to apply further restrictions to the meatbombers, it is believed one of them being that they must not jump if conditions were under VMC below 10,000 ft.
As these gents were about to depart it was pointed out to them that the jump plane was climbing above cloud, if they cared to wait they would witness a breaking of that rule, they cleared out as fast as they could.
Just makes you wonder.
