He's a mason - so no prosecution!
Unlikely to help him, it seems he's just a country member

I'm sure that if he actually did anything illegal,the wheels of justice will grind.

Sorry, Vince, you come across as concieted and arrogant. One of the earlier posters came up with a really good teaching-aid.


Pour some water onto a tea-tray and walk round with it.


The tray is analogous to your big, flat tank...unless your aircraft attitude puts the fuel outlet at the lowest point AND you are flying absoloutely in balance, the usable fuel will slop away from the outlet.

IMO you have never bothered to pay attention to your sight-glasses until . at that last turn, the sight went from ~5L to empty...then you failed to connect "unbalanced turn....slop....can't suck the fuel "

That scenario SHOULD have been familiar and the apparent "sudden dissapearance" would not have caught you with your pants down.
