Well there appears to be plenty of speculation regarding his history and background and that picture is out there on the web.
I have not suggested he is a member of this forum.
The fact remains that he has been found guilty in a French court and is serving a 2.5 year sentance. He was obviously not concerned about the consequences when he left the UK a week ago to smuggle four illegal immigrants in to the UK.
If he did not want his name in the UK press and confinement in prison then he could have stuck to the law like the majority of us.
This forum is about private flying but that includes the bad as well as the good.
I don't think people smuggling does anyone any favours and that certainly includes the flying community.
This was not a solo trip.
