Yes, like "Your Controls" has already said, there was a complete an utter , who on the days this person could be bothered to turn up to work, they walked around with there camera and took pictures to prove that an aircraft either wasn't tied down or according to them, it wasn't tied down tightly enough, even if it wasn't the student who had tied the aircraft down (in the beginning the instructors do it to show the students how to tie it down correctly) the students still got charged for it!! This person also did start charging students for not tying an aircraft down, when there were no tie downs to tie it down with, this did stop eventually when they realised there were no ropes in those positions!! The charges were only removed, though, if you went and persistantly kept speaking to the admin staff about it to explain there went any tie downs there to tie the aircraft down with!!

So yes, anybody thinking of going to OFT in the future, keep a look out for these charges which appear as "Miscellaneous" (usually) on your account!!
