Tounge in cheek, and not wishing to put a dampener on matters, but have not many others been castigated for identifyling aliases, or was this one well known hitherto?
Well known hitherto.

Tudor, Many, Many Congratulations,
I'm sure there will be those within the CAA legal department also celebrating your elevation to the Bench, although a few of them, just possibly, for slightly different reasons!
Anyway, I'm delighted for you, and I hope you find your new position both interesting and fulfilling.
Best Wishes, Your Honour,
Bellerophon.

Yes - Congratulations. It presumably means an end to the many learned posts we have had the pleasure of reading and which have improved our legal knowledge so much over the years. It would be nice to think that a new poster may appear with a similar grip of legal matters and whose real identity will remain totally confidential - purely to discuss aviation matters of course........ I'll say no more!
P.P.

It's great to hear some good news 
Many congratulations FL, and I do hope that your new duties will still leave you ample time to indulge in some aviating and PPRuNing.

And from one who catches, investigates, charges and puts the miscreants in front of Your Honour may I add my congratulations.
As I work within the catchment area of SNCC will I now have to declare a conflict of interest if any of my cases come up in front of yourself?

Doesn't a judge have the right or even obligation to do right!
So when the CAA and/or defendant come up with hogwash he should/could just throw 'em out - literally?!!
Just an idea, probably saw to much Law&Order stuff on TV...
Congratulations Sir!!
You're goin' to change your call sign now?

PS: Funny thing is that a lawyer is supposed to do the best possible for his client, whether it is right/just or not....
He is a Lawyer not a Judge...
Now it is the other way around for "Flying Judge"...
I assume you have some "discretion" available...

Congratulations FL, I'm sure you will find some way of staying with us here.
Lord Mount, surely that should be "investigates" then "catches"...
FL will have you if you get muddled on that one.

Oh Gawd! I'd love to be there when the first ANO prosecution comes before him! 
Congratulations, and well done. At least there will be someone on one bench who is in touch with modern life (without prejudice to any others that might be there!)

Well done! Wonderful to see such a knowledgeable, rational & thinking person appointed to such a position.
Does this mean you can ask your own searching questions directly to the CAA's lawyers & witnesses to determine where the truth may lie? Or must you only consider what defense & prosecution present?
BTW, if I should ever be up before your beakiness, will a simple "It wasn't me, your Honour" do for me to be acquitted?

Congratulations Me Lud
Hearty congratulations Tudor. Most of us only get called to a bar to partake of something which makes us then do stupid things. You were called to a different bar and have moved on to something which will at times call for you to exercise the judgement of Solomon. If your previous experience and your many wise posts on here are anything to go by, I'm sure you'll do a great job. Very well done yer Honour
