As one lucky enough to have counted Dom as one of my closest friends I suppose I ought to complete this thread.
Nothing ever happened with regard to any negative CAA involvement in the rescue incident
In fact the CAA were very supportive.
The whole saga did 'burn bridges' for Dom and a time later he left that employer and joined the freelancer 'circuit'. In true Dom fashion he wasn't willing to accept what he perceived as poor treatment, and ultimately Dom successfully sued his previous employer at Employment Tribunal.
Soon after Dom was diagnosed with a particularly nasty strain of pancreatic cancer. He fought with great tenacity (as one would have expected from a former RM), but sadly lost the battle 14 months later.
His funeral in Plymouth was well attended by a number of former colleagues and students.
He leaves a void in many that will be impossible to fill.
