3wheels
While I agree with you that I am delighted this crook has been put away for a long time as he was convicted of a nasty crime I do not agree with the police having the power to dismantle or examine an aircraft without a licensed engineer present to open areas which by law require a licensed engineer!
You did not answer my question ? Just imagine I had a gripe with you and without foundation when you were on a trip abroad called the police and told them that 3 wheels was on his way back and had drugs conceiled in the wings engine and inaccessible parts of your aircraft!
They would be obliged to act! Other than causing you a lot of hassle if a non licensed person opened up areas of the aircraft that had broken the regulations which could mean some considerable cost making it airworthy again!
Should you pay ???
