The court heard .... if there had been a problem with the engine the helicopter would have just dropped “like a brick” and there would have been no way to land.
Why does the CAA allow their representatives to give courts such melodramatic prejudicial nonsense?

Martin James, an investigator with the Civil Aviation Authority, said: “He put his own interests before the people of Treorchy.”
Not just people on the ground but "the people of Treorchy.”
Introducing a local element is an old trick often used by politicians trying to win over an audience, but inappropriate for someone who is supposed to be an objective investigator.
