Scud-U-Like
I think we're rather at cross purposes here.
Once it got to court the JA had not the specialised knowledge of aviation law to make a judgement, hence he had to continue with it. The lawyers were there to present him with the law.
Those 'in the know', those that pressed the case, were experienced senior RAF officers who knew the law involved and should never have taken it to court martial. Thats my (and ever other ATCO I knows) contention. Why did it go to CM?
I am pleased to be informed by my father (in Aberdeen) that there is a big hoo haa in the Scottish Press as to who brought this to court and why. Costs must now exceed one million pounds of the tax payers money.
