If you are interested I suspect an application under the Freedom of Information Act will produce a great deal of information - I dont see the CAA could redact much of the information on the basis of the exemptions available under the Act and the CAA are a public authority.

I'm interested by the "Fine £12000 Comp £5000" for "No Permit to Fly & Crossing international FIR boundary without filing a Flight Plan" which is the biggest penalty by quite a way. Anything to do with this I wonder?

I immediately thought it was that Long-EZ case, too....

Never saw anything on the net about him getting done though.

It was him, he got well stitched by the CAA but succesfully appealed.( He is a friend of mine).

Can you comment on the appeal?

Publicly only to say he won.

BTW it was a Verieze.

Presumably it was the level of the fine that he appealed against, rather than the conviction (since he pleaded guilty), do you know what it was reduced to?

It was the mother of all diversions allright :)

Who was his appeal lawyer?

The answer would be very interesting. I wonder if this has made the press in Switzerland...

What did he get stitched for?

There's a suprise :)

Is the published fine, before or after the appeal?
