Supreme Court Ruling

Following the sensational one sided media reports on this matter, as well as the subsequent Court Case, Judge Comrie ruled on the matter this morning.

It will be interesting to see if the Newspapers will report the judgement. We have learnt from experience, that the Newspapers always only publish the negative side by creating negative sensation, and making out that we are always in the wrong. The newspapers have yet to report anything positive on the Huey.

The Order is straight to the point and rules that The Aplication by the Waterfront Company (who was joined by the CAA) to have the Huey banned from operating from the Waterfront be dismissed with costs against the Waterfront Company and the CAA.

So justice prevails! The Huey can fly from the Waterfront!

The CAA's involvement in this matter and in their affadavids clearly showed their "male fides" once again, and still leaves many unanswered questions.

One can only but wonder what the real intention of the CAA and their inspectors are, and what was meant by one inspector when he stated "there is nothing that money can't fix!"

I rest my case.

To the many people that have supported us, many thanks. To our Club members who stood squarely behind us, thank you too. To all the others that called and visited and offered encouragement, thank you all. To all the emailers, thanks guys. It once again proved that the Huey is a hit, and that there are far more "far sighted" people in this world. More so than the few jealous opposition companies and individuals.

Safe flying guys!
