£5000 fine and £40,000 costs!!!!!! Where do these figures come from?? When was the last time you heard of a £5000 fine imposed for any non aviation offence? Drugs or something perhaps. Are the figures higher because it was a twin squirrel.. . If I had done the same thing in the R22 would I get the same punishment? What size of fine would you get in the US? . . Think I had better change my hobby !!!!!
