I accept all your points , I have heard them from the engineer (after 7 months of silence)
The blades were advised as "near perfect" to me.
The engineer did an annual which involves a specific check-- ie to mark the blades with an R22 tool and inspect with 10x lens for corrosion/deformation.
The annual report I was given was that the aircraft was fine.
13 weeks later (after flying only in dry conditions and hangared , the blades were condemned due to deformation. The end plate scews were so corroded that they could not be undone. The mark for inspection was not done with R22 template (wrong place)
The engineer does not refute that, he says it was an error but he inspected the correct area, and the corrosion occurred in those 13 weeks.
None of the experts believe it and with a few other details which became apparent, the CAA have instigated a MOR (so they don`t believe it either.)
I was so scared of what else could have been missed that I spent £17k + having it fully checked/repaired.
I am asking engineer for £5k contribution .......
If he doesn`t respond, I will shortly publicise the evidence (and the result of the MOR)
Of course the legal system can protect him from my claim--- but there are a lot of people who have seen this who are urging me to go ahead with this action to prevent this rogue doing it again.
Its his reputation -- and hopefully he will learn lesson.
