Don't take any notice of old crab ... He is ex mil and a bit grumpy about civilians being allowed to fly at all , but wait til you get both barrels from old TC . He's crabs father and is even grumpier !!!!!
I for one hope he gets treated leniently as rules should never get in the way of common sense . With me also the low point in this country was the man drowning in a 4 ft deep pond with lots of people , including Police , watching . Better a bit reckless than a coward .
