Raw Data,
I assume that your belligerent tone is a crude attempt at a wind-up, since you are quite familiar with my identity.
If you look a little more carefully, you will notice the phrase 'prior to the issue of a commercial licence'.
Sure, military (RN, anyway) logbooks are/were signed by the Senior Pilot every month, the CO every 3 months and the Captain annually. To the best of my knowledge, they were simply signed and never cross referenced to the authorisation sheets or F700.
I repeat, the CAA has never examined any of my logbooks. The only opportunity they ever had was when I turned up in person for the issue of my ATPL and had the then current volume to hand. They declined such examination as unnecessary.
You haven't seen me, right?
