Maybe the injustice was in that case rather than this one? Just saying.
Absolutely. A poorly tried case where the Rad Alt unlocking for a very short time as it crossed the airfield boundary effectively swayed the Jury. He was very lucky to get away with it in my humble opinion. I understand that he never flew again and left the RAF?
