There are now allegations on another flying forum (Flyer GA) that the same individual was sacked by the district council that own the airfield that he worked at for allegedly stealing AVGAS from aircraft.
200lts of Avgas from the C421 then 80lts from the Saratoga. Nobody could work it out at the time
said to be using it in a microlight. I believe suspicions were first aroused by the amount of flying hours V the lack of purchased fuel. Then he was caught with the fuel.
Allegedly when the CCTV was checked the only thing they could see was the ops vehicle and so it was discounted from inquiries at the time. He sounds like a complete wrong-un and if true should probably be doing time. I wonder if any of this brought up in the trial?
