Unlikely if the Battersea incident was 2 years ago.

The only remarkable thing about Old Heliman`s original post is that the CAA actually had the strength of mind and resolve to proceed with the prosecution.
Why is that remarkable?
The CAA had the "strength of mind and resolve" as you call it to prosecute Dennis Kenyon for giving famil flights to the new owner of an N reg without DfT permission. The CAA always go for easy targets and trivial offences. Pprune is littered with examples.
Illegal public transport is a subject against which every AOC operator in the UK is very keen to see the CAA act with much greater vigour and determination.
Hear, hear.
It's always been a mystery to me why they don't do something about the examples we and they know about.
'perpetrators such as the joker refrred to by Old Heliman'
?
Was he joker?
Was it a 'bad' case or something petty?
Old Heliman knows but he's not telling us.
Could that be because it was something minor rather than the CAA doing something about the illegal public transport operators we all know about and would like to see stopped?
I don't know - just curious.
