Clarification required

"Will A and C ever notice that light aircraft mainenance can be completed by a JAR-66 licensed engineer. No contact with a maintenance complay required at all."
If I understand what you appear to be saying, and please correct me if I have failed to, you are suggesting that a JAR 66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence holder can complete and certify ALL maintenance on your 'G' registered aircraft?
You also appear to suggest that you will not require the services of a maintenance company (I am guessing you are referring to what is correctly termed an Approved Maintenance Organisation, be it M3, E4-M5, or Part 145) by contact or contract for any aspect of maintenance on your 'G' registered aircraft.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
Oh, sorry. Please excuse me, one and all.
You see, up untill now, I was actually convinced that DFC was genuine. I even believed that he may have been a committed aircraft owner or active flying club member who took a deep interest in his aircraft maintenance, as well as being shrewd. I thought it was most commendable of him to stand up to the industry here and try and make his point.
Then I read his post containing the above quote. It was at this point that I realised, we have been had.
As those of us actually involved in aviation know, the CAA require all Annual Inspections (including CAA ex-mil Permit types) and C of A renewals to be carried out within the premisis and confines of an Approved Organisation. EASA similar.
So, either:
a) DFC has never been an aircraft owner, [Milt or wannabee]
or
b) DFC has only owned microlights or PFA/LAA Permit types, [Milt or wannabee]
or
c) DFC has only recently purchased an aircraft, and has believed everything the salesman said, [banana boat crewman]
or
d) DFC has an AML (JAR 66 licence) and does all his own work, [suffers from foot-in-mouth disease and doesn't understand the limitations of his licence]
(or, e) hypothetically, perhaps a certain amount of readies pass between two people once every year in exchange for a quiet signature or two. However, if this has previously taken place, following the high-profile "won't cost me any more" statements in this well viewed thread, the signatory will most probably disappear into thin air to prevent capture and loss of licence, nee income).

I learnded Englische when I was a children. Notwithstanding this fault of mine, looking at the grammer and spelling contained in DFC's posts, and considering the 'precise' content of some of his quotes, I wonder if DFC is really a two-year-college-special freshly-churned-out-but-nil-experienced B1 or B2 who falls into d) above. a) may also apply.
