On Tuesday, with my AOPA UK hat on I was at a meeting of Hampshire Police Authority. The Press Report linked below gives a very fair summary of the proceedings.
It's natural for the Police Authority to initially defend the Police from criticism. I'm very grateful to the Police Authority Members and the Chair, who took the time to investigate what the Police were up to and when they realised what was going on took decisive action.
The Chief Constable's Report which was being discussed can be seen by using the links under agenda Item 8 on
this page.
The Newspaper report on what happened when the Report was discussed is
here.
This saga illustrates perfectly the role AOPA UK plays in helping all pilots.
