I do not know Tony R or George Adams but I managed to get the transcript of the crown court trial as I have been following the recent CAA cases. (most of which they have lost)
The defence council took the CAA and the PFA to pieces and made complete fools out of both. Ken Craigie was a CAA witness yet he defended Mr Adams.
The PFA Inspector Mr L...., a CAA witness was told by the Judge that his evidence was full of contradictions and he would direct the Jury to disregard it
The new owner and his friend both claimed to have flown the aircraft from N Ireland as P1 and both logged flights as P1 which were not even in the aircraft logbook.
They had some expert from the CAA who sat for the whole trial and when he took the stand the CC Judge sent the jury out and said "Did you examine the aircraft? ("NO") "Well we are not going to listen to any more of this third hand testimony" and sent him home.
What a bloody waste of time and money
It was more like a script from "Yes Minister" or a "Carry-on" film.
So I think Mr Adams and his friends like Tony Ringland have a right to be pissed off with the Ass.
Some of my friends went to the AGM but were not allowed to even ask a question, so don't lecture us on how we should all tow the line. The PFA is in a mess and if those at the top had any concern for the Ass they would go.
