Orangewing - I would have thought he would have gained a bit of maturity over the last 20 years but am obviously wrong. He was a self-opinionated sh?t then. Does anything change?

I saw this "event" from the AV8 restaurant and it was brilliant. Apparently the complaint is around low level display flying over a crowd. Well the crowd was probably about 20 not the 1000 alleged for the open air gathering infingement as per rule 5. Superb flying but then of course it didn't fit in with Captain Sensible's schedule so that was that. I hope he reads these forums and realises what a total idiot he has made of himself by taking this action against a highly experienced pilot.

Totally understand your sentiments, but please don't go into the facts whilst the incident is under investigation.
Hope you've contacted Ultimate High to offer help.

I don't know Mr Moody, and I wasn't there, but if the facts are as reported, the phrase "isn't life a little bit too short ....." comes to mind.
Regardless of his contribution in the past, if he can't cope with a simple explanation of the facts, I'm pretty sure aviation would be a better place if he stayed on the flight deck of his whizz bang jet.
Please don't forget that if someone makes a complaint to the CAA, they have a duty to follow it up, and that if Mr Moody did contact individual SRG officers, it's highly likely that they would not have been aware of that he'd been previously talking to colleagues.

If any Ppruners saw the Extras practising at Kemble on Saturday evening of the PFA Rally, they might wish to e-mail ULTIMATE HIGH to see if they can be of any help to fellow pilots.

Original post taken out by myself as it was a reply (without comment on the occurence) to a posting which subsequently removed by the moderators as explained underneath.
Not deleted the entry as Heliports comment is probably a good conclusion of this thread until the CAA investigation is over.

The post to which you refer has been deleted.
No comments about the incident itself will be permitted until the CAA investigation has been concluded.

This is presumably why they could not make the Leuchars airshow and thus, instead of a whizz in an Extra 300, two lucky competition winners today got a half hour each in an Aerobat with yours truly 
. Actually they both enjoyed the Cessna anyway; perhaps ignorance is bliss!

Heard a rumour today that both pilots have happily been well and truly exonerated... anybody know for sure?
Incidentally what a fascinating contrast this thread makes to the Denny thread... nuff said.
That rumour is definitely not true.

Unfortunately AOPA can only give first aid legal advice if this does go to trial the pilots will have to fund all their costs themselves and have no guarantee of getting the money back if exonerated - it might be worth looking at setting up a legal expense insurance scheme if enough pilots are prepared to contribute the costs shouldn't be too bad - don't think it can't happen to you it can and may do!!

Anyone know what's happening to the Kemble two?? Is the CAA investigation ongoing? Has it hit the courts yet?
I also note that Steve Moody features in a 'Pilot' magazine profile this month. A fascinating read............ Whatever next?

Does the feature mention his behaviour on the Saturday evening of the PFA Rally?
Or going off in a fit of pique and refusing to turn up on the Sunday because some people had the audacity to disagree with him and suggest he was making a mountain out of a molehill?
Or his actions the following week?
I bet it doesn't.
I've been told by an extremely reliable source (not a rumour) that the CAA completed its investigation of this storm in a teacup before Christmas, gave the pilots a warning and the matter is at last concluded.
I suppose that's some small comfort to the pilots who lost the rest of their display season because some prat in SRG over-reacted and suspended their Display Authorisations while Moody's allegations were investigated.
Great choice for a 'Pilot profile'

Ironic that this months (Feb 2004 ) Pilot Mag has the pilot profile of Steve Moody and also has an in depth article about Ultimate High, 4 page spread and cover shot. Moody profile doesn't mention the toys out of pram incident though.

Hello Chums,
As one of the two "condemned", I would like to express my thanks to all the words of support from a number of you. Although the matter has been almost settled and we have been cautioned by the CAA, there are still some outstanding issues. Until these are wrapped up, I am reluctant to comment further, however, I will post the full story on here in the fullness of time.
It raises many questions, that I am sure will ellicit further comment, but in the meantime, a thousand thanks go to Flying Lawyer for unstinting support - I cannot speak highly enough of him.
Everyone else (apart from 1!) is welcome to our crewroom at Ultimate High at Kemble for a coffee and a gossip, and if the weather is nice let's go flying.
2 Bulldogs joining the fleet soon folks - should be fun

Very pleased that common sense prevailed!
Anyone whose opinion you'd have been concerned about was behind you anyway - regardless of the eventual outcome.
A useful reminder for us all: There's always one!!
