Having read the AAIB report, it is clear that he bu99er all respect for any rules or regulations - probably considered that they were for other people to obey.

The AAIB report is ample condemnation and chilling reading. There is no record of this, no record of that, no evidence of the other. Maintenance was thoroughly dubious, no apparent approval of operation on mogas, maintenance conducted in an illegal fashion, logbooks not properly kept for either the pilot or the aircraft, and suspicions in my mind that his pilot logbook was actually falsified.

He KNEW his licence was invalid. He KNEW his medical had expired. He has robbed two children of their parents. I hope his estate is sued for everything it has to pay for their future upbringing, care and education, as the insurance company won't pay out a bean.
