When I flew at CE, one of the countless snags was a pressurisation controller that let the cabin climb at 2000fpm everytime you closed the thrust levers at TOD. We snagged it and it was "ground tested and found servicable," eventualy after two flights I threw toys with the engineers and was told "we don't have enough money for a spare" - at the same time a Porsche mechanic was flown by VB to SA to sort out his racing car!!! I made a plan and left CE soon after. When a lap time at the racing track is more important than safety in the air, one gets rather nervous.

VB is no loss to SA aviation, I just pity the crew that have been bitten by his actions.
