Just found out that RM was declared bankrupt in September 2017:

If he is locked up and bankrupt I would say yes.

What do you want..finger nails pulled out or maybe transportation.

Serious knife crime offenders only get a few years.

It appears the ISIS poster girl will return with little more than a rap on the knuckles.

Many will be delighted at the news and no doubt can't wait till the 15th March (sentence date). RM like us all has his faults but having known him and his ways for close on 21 years he is an down to earth decent enough chap-unlike most of the back stabbers on here who can't wait to hit the keyboard. He gave many myself included their early steps into aviation and for that if nothing else I for one will always be grateful.

I am delighted that someone who has flown illegally, endangering the lives of at least 3 others on just this one escapade has been found guilty of such deeds.
I hope he is punished severely for the 7 offences he committed.

How touching!

Notes to editors

• Robert Murgatroyd (DOB: 19 May 1966) was convicted of the following charges:
  • Endangering the safety of an aircraft
  • Endangering the safety of a person
  • Illegal public Transport
  • Flying otherwise than in accordance with a licence
  • Flying otherwise than in accordance with any conditions/limitations contained in the aircraft flight manual
  • Failure to comply with the insurance regulation
  • Flying without the aircraft flight manual

Having dealt with the consequences of previous misdeeds and obfuscations by RM whereby others have died, I can only say that the verdict on these charges is a good one for aviation in general and that the punishment, whatever form it takes, is richly deserved. There are of course others who have been closely involved in his past misdeeds that may even now need to be very nervous. Football agents and some ex airline pilots included.

[ETOPS]

What are the odds, do you think, of him actually turning up on the 15th of March for sentencing?

A former business partner of his owns a light twin...........................just saying

[robin]

7 counts this time......;-)

[Meester proach]

Sadly, I think we will see more of this situation in the future with things like “ wingly “ which the CAA seems to think is just fine and dandy. And when it happens the daily mail will have a field day.

[STENDEC North]

Light twin and what?

ETOPS, which former business partner owns a light twin, and how does that make a difference on the 16th? I’m intrigued.

[horatio_b]

A former director of FlyBlackpool Ltd is the owner of an Aztec, according to G-INFO. However, this aircraft has not had a current CofA for several months.

[ETOPS]

Obvious risk of absconding - remand before sentencing would have been sensible in this case.

We shall see on the 15th.

[Mike Flynn]

The CAA really need to get their act together and do their job of protecting the public from these cowboys.

The Barton incident could have easily ended in a major tragedy if that PA28 had crashed on the nearby motorway.

Elsewhere there is the case of the Sala crash and lots of potential for similar incidents with Wingly etc.

Why would anyone want to get an AOC and employ properly trained commercial pilots only to see these unlicensed flyboys
undercut them?

RM assisted a well known and currently in the public eye sporting agent to buy a Beech200, perhaps the agent could arrange a flight for him, through a suitable intermediary ‘charter ‘ broker of course 🤔
