V2 - if I saw grey on the ASI then even I would have to force my argumentative self to give up!

I'm off to the eye-doc for yet more tests (non-CAA type) but what your saying is absolutely right. 152Driver flagged up the Denison case in Australia in an earlier posting - it's well worth a read but written in fairly tiresome legaleeze. Unfortunately there is not a similar type of tribuanl authority in the UK but I'm open to ideas to form some sort of group. We could try and demand a meeting with the CAA on mass, or put together a proprosal for further testing. No doubt Dr Pape down under might take an interest.

Charles Guthrie's (Chief of Defence Staff) comments today make interesting reading if taken in context. If the Armed Forces are made to accept disabled people in front line roles then the CAA won't have a leg to stand on(no pun intended)...How can they deny a Class I on the grounds of a disability which has never been proven as the couse of an accident?
