Just be happy for a fellow pilot.
I've frequently been very critical of decisions by ARE (and by the CAA's legal department) about specific cases and of the CAA's prosecuting policy in general - on PPRuNe and elsewhere. However, when (as in this case) an entirely sensible decision is made, I am very happy to say so publicly.
Please bear in mind that the Head of ARE was prepared to tell me the approach he'd take in this case. He was under no obligation to do so, nor did he have to agree to my posting it here. I'm grateful to him for both.
