Jet 'owned' by guy who leased Mansfield's was allegedly in maintenance at the time, hence the hiring of Mansfield's aircraft...

Mansfield has denied all knowledge and association of the operation.

Interesting that the 'smuggler' just walked on board with the heroin in his bags, not even hidden - just goes to show what people think of GA security in Europe.

He was caught not because of security procedures, but as the result of a long intelligence operation.

Begs the question - just how many flights like this have been done in the past?
