Helinut,

Ian Perry was the senior Spec Av Med at Wallop in '73 when I was there. I do, indeed, know him well.

Well respected as he is I am not sure he would convince the Court that he knows any more than the CAA's employed Doctors. Indeed, the CAA's own Doctors agree with me! The Authority's arguement is that "international concensus" is that we all are at much higher risk of a Cardiac Event post 60. I will argue that "international consensus" is not sound medical opinion and I will bring non-aviation medical experts to express that view.

Having said that, I'm sure Ian is aware of my action and I would be very happy to have his support in Court if my lawyers agree. His position at BHAB, who are understandably reluctant to show me overt support, makes it difficult for me to contact him though. Should he wish to contact me, of course, that would be another matter.

Ian Evans
