Amazing how quickly rumours get started. Unbelieveable how, almost less than 24 hours after the incident, that a summary £2000 fine is announced? The paperwork would not have even got to the desk of the CAA yet, let alone decide whether or not to investigate, let alone go to court and, if found guilty, announce the fine. I reckon on a fairly hefty fine but surely in about 6 months time maybe at the earliest? Unless the CAA have now got a 'fast-track' fines system, just like their fast track license issue system, not.
I'm not sure on what grounds the organisers are going to sue the pilot? Loss of earnings? Does this mean I can sue an Air Display organiser if I don't like the display?
Its a wacky world we live in
