All The Nines... fair comment. The BMAA permit check flight needs to be done by a BMAA Check Pilot, who could be the inspector but doesn't have to be, I believe. I'm not sure whether the Inspector needs to validate the registration of the aircraft to the owner, but the owner would need to be a BMAA member. Much the same with LAA permit machines, except the owner can do the check flight, subject to having sufficient hours on type or similar.
Time will tell, but there are reports indicating that the pilot was advised to take lessons, but didn't. 'nuf said.
DX.....
Brilliant entertainment and certain darwin award category on that video.
