Connetts- very intriguing post. The legislation in the UK seems to have been used on Rail employees and Ferry employees mainly. The G-AWNO incident is little known publicly because no damage or injuries were caused, but the ramifications went deep. It was inexplicable to us colleagues of the Captain exactly why the prosecution was brought in the first place, and what exactly it achieved. Indeed it alone caused a dreadfully serious fallout.
As far as aviation is concerned, the nearest that springs to mind was the Exeter Viscount fuel starvation of about 30 years back, but I do not believe that was a prosecution.
