Is there anyone in the CAA dealing with this matter that is 1) a Current Pilot of Display Aircraft Either Jet or Piston?2)OR an Ex Military Pilot who has flown either one or the other above?3)Assuming Rod Dean has now retired,and of course Barry Tempest has long retired,there must be Ex Service Pilots in various CAA Departments that should be dealing with this.It seems to me that knee jerk reactions from non pilot people in the CAA are very much the reasons that the Air Displays that Jo Public have for a long time been so enthusiastic about,are about to be consigned to the Bin.Once there can never been resurrected.It is far easier to just say "NO" to get rid of the problem, than spend time and more money to get a Team of Expensive Advisers to move more and more paperwork,which DFDs and Lawyers must wade through plus,Health and Safety issues,which eventually will rule them out on pure cost grounds anyway!!!A very grim future and if you are an Operator or Owner/Driver of a Civvy Jet then it has to be a ruddy costly nightmare!!
