Captain Kirk makes headlines again.

Maurice Kirk is in trouble again.
FLYING vet Maurice Kirk has appeared in Taunton Magistrates Court today (October 13) after he was arrested yesterday outside the Market House.

Police charged the 71-year-old with "driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence" and "using a motor vehicle without insurance".

When asked to confirm in court if his address was Llantwit Major, a town in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, Mr Kirk said he would rather not as there were "more pressing things" to discuss.

Mr Kirk, who appeared in court after being held in custody overnight, did not enter a plea and the case was adjourned until October 26 at 10am.

Earlier police towed away a car and a plane outside the Market House in Taunton.

It is believed the vehicles are being seized due to lack of insurance.

Faults with the plane's trailer also led to its unplanned seizure at the roundabout.

A spokesman from Avon and Somerset Police said: "At 1.45pm officers stopped a car pulling a plane on a trailer on the parade.

"It was stopped due to concerns it exceeded the legal weight limit.

"One man has been arrested in connection with the seizure of the plane."
