I had a field visit on Monday from the new special branch ports cop in charge of monitoring airfields in my area. He stopped by the strip to introduce himself, nice enough guy and you could tell he was the real deal. I think in the past that position was filled by a local cop at the twilight of his career who couldnt be arsed breaking up fights at the taxi rank after the pubs closed or chasing neds round the scheme anymore and the airfield assignment was an easy way to glide into retirement. This guy however was a young former military intelligence and counter terrorism specialist in Afghanistan prior to joining the cops and was as sharp as a tack. So it looks like the government are really looking at GA smuggling of drugs, asylum seekers, terror and organized crime. Not surprising really after all the dip****s like the guy in this thread who have that have had their collars felt recently for smuggling stuff in light aircraft.
