So that makes everything OK? Perhaps o'whine should have shot him? (that's probably a bit mean though).
CASA are culpable, Hemple was a pilot in need of therapy.
I have flown with Barry prior to this Circus, he was a great and capable pilot, however he should not have been flying because he got his head squashed in a hangar door. He had a documented loss of consciousness which should have removed "ALL" flight crew "PRIVELEGES" until he had a documented clearance from epileptic seizurers for at least eight to ten years.
I've been through the system.
Anybody in CASA own a Yak or Nanchang?

Who, of these are employed by casa in the period that Hemple did not have a valid licence or medical

Owen Meaney/Blackhand, don't worry Blackie, the Oleo isn't flat, still fully extended and as 'sharp' as ever, thanks for caring though

CASA knew his history and took away his commercial license. That's all good - but surely they should have known that this would not stop him? It's bleeding obvious. As everyone seems to say - flying was his life. What else was he going to do? Kindergarten teacher?
I would have thought they should have taken all licenses off him and ensured he wasn't still flying. A simple task to check I would have thought - just ring Hempels and arrange a joy flight and see who turns up???
Would they have the power to shut down his business? I would expect not if there are/were others there who could fly?
I wonder if CASA had their time over again if they would do things differently. Are they doing things differently now? Probably not as that would be an admission that they need to change.......
I don't know - it's all just too hard.

One would have thought that the Archerfield CASA office could have been advised by the tower that the suspect aircraft was flying. A drive airside would have soon sorted who was flying and who the passenger was. Though its years since I have been to YBAF, I suppose the CASA office has been closes.
I would have thought CASA could have obtained a court order or simply requested the AFP to meet the aircraft on return and ascertain who was flying.
...then immediately into the slammer for contempt of court.

Archerfield CASA office
As far as I know, the removal of BH's licence was not a product of CASA Brisbane.
SBS...
You can put it down to Standard Bureaucratic Sloth. No one is interested. No one is accountable. No one is liable. So..... 
Was John Quadrio allowed to keep a PPL, having had his CPL cancelled on ficticious grounds..?
CAsA says.." Nobody knew... re BH
I say BULLSH*T TRU !!

Coroners Findings
Still no date for the coroner's final report with recommendations. Will be almost 5 years since the tragedy. However, rumour has ît CASA has been busy (Mr Harvey) putting ink to paper for their dissertation to the coroner. No doubt plenty of CYA as per normal.

Indeed, CAsA and Harvey have a robust working relationship that tends to complement each other very well. A but like Sonny and Skippy, Ronnie Corbett and Ronnie Barker, Statler and Wardolf. Why break up a successful marriage where both partners know each other intimately, can almost read each others thoughts, have shared in many wins where truth, justice and transparency flourished!

Now into September or close as damn it and no further forward on the coroners final report. I know it is caretaker mode as pointed out by Albanese in regard to Pel Air.
I agree with Mick Quinns comments about Australia's reputation being trashed. Perhaps Mick will be getting his old office back in April and might be able to change the situation.

The Blues Brothers
Perhaps you are right halfmanhalfcaretakermode, Mick the Magnificent may return to his old former lofty throne at the Brisbane CAsA Temple!
Bit like the Blues Brothers 'We're getting the band back together'? He could round up Murray, Collins, Vaughan, it could be a real hoot!

Mick has, in by opinion, two chances, none and Buckley's.
Murray, I couldn't say;
Collins, you are so funny, ever though of standup;
Vaughan, no way, he wants to preserve his sanity, and CASA couldn't afford him, anyway.
Tootle pip!!

The Coroner Office is State institution - nothing to do with the Federal Election.

LeadSled, old cock, you wouldn't be VERY close to one of those mentioned in
by any chance? No?
...Murray, Collins, Vaughan, ...
Horatio,
Murray I do not know, the other three I know, two of them quite well. Bit hard to not know them if you have been around the aviation business for while.
