Thankyou guys
Thankyou for all your overwhelming support guys it really has helped my healing process.
Reading your posts I see there is one issue that needs clarification. With regards to the turns we proved in court that they were not illegal steep turns (ie aerobatic) and we also brought up the fact that the low flying law specifically states it applies over terrain. The judge decided that in this instance terrain actually included water and I was unfit because he thought my suggested reason for turning in such a manner due to birds was risable (laughable) because he could not see any birds in the footage. But none of them ever bothered to go out to the reef to see how many birds there actually was in that area.
