What was the outcome of this (if any)?
Previous postings mainly concentrate on the weather on the day, and rightly so. However, are we to believe that no money changed hands as it was a PPL flight? Did the CAA investigate?
I'm raising this as on a recent airing of the 'Tonight' programme, Mark Austin flew in an MD of some description in the south west, which reminded me of the Shirley Bassey flight.
The two are likely to be completely unrelated and I am not making any accusations, but there aren't many MD AOC operators out there, are there?
