Another pilot whom I would have regarded it as an honour to represent FOC - but I was under two at the time!
Conditional Discharge and ten guineas costs - a very sensible decision by the Stipendiary Magistrate Mr Frank Milton who, by the time I appeared before him as a very young barrister 20 years later, was Sir Frank Milton and Chief Metropolitan Stipendiary Magistrate. Tough when required and merciful when appropriate; a good combination.
Our grey, obsessively risk-averse modern world doesn't seem to produce as many 'characters'. Unfortunately.
