Its only you Pros at the moment how long before they start chasing the Private Pilot at GA fields. This was seen at Elstree over the weekend
3 S/Branch police officers and two immigration officers have been camped out at EGTR this weekend, Friday through Monday.
Chatting to them they claim that their only brief is to show a higher profile presence.
In the meantime, not only are they checking all incoming flights from abroad, they are also checking local flights.
A colleague and his passengers were questioned upon returning from a short visit to N/weald. They were asked to produce ID and fill in disembarkation cards with names, addresses etc.
This has happened to several other a/c’s crew and passengers, after returning from a local sortie.
Wasnt aware ID was required for local flights
