No judge or magistrate in England and Wales uses a gavel in court - ever!
That's the Americans, you see.

Look at them all, kissing up to hizzoner! Just in case, I suppose.
Case - geddit? Oh, never mind.
And spare a thought for how lonely poor bjcc is going to be now.
Seriously, though - Congratulations, FL!

Well done, HH Judge Owen I look forward to reading your judgments.
Rat 5,
You raise a good and valid point, but FL has been known to - and his achievements much admired by - the PPRuNe community for some years now.

Heartiest congratulations, Tudor.
How choice to have a man of conviction (!) and common sense on the Bench.
Very well deserved.
......................but what do we half-wits do now if we need a hand ?
As suggested, new callsign ?

We really are honoured to have you amongst the Rotorheads community

Snaresbrook is, I believe, the largest court complex in the country, dealing with everything from naughty little toerags to some of the most dangerous people in the country. I've done jury service there three times and thoroughly enjoyed the two or three week escape from work on each occasion. I reckon I'm about due for another summons and will certainly make an effort to see our old friend ensconced on the bench.

Who's going to keep the Campaign Against Aviation honest now?
A Magistrate writes about His Honour's appointment:
A Magistrate writes about His Honour's appointment:
He is a long way from the judicial stereotype, being a qualified pilot of helicopters and fixed wing aircraft and an expert aviation lawyer. He has regularly come out on top in courtroom tussles with the Civil Aviation Authority. Last time I heard, he had a part share in a WW2 aeroplane and a Gazelle helicopter, but if he has to live on his salary, they may have to go! He is also a devotee of fast cars and fast driving - the latter may also have to go.
As we wander through life, we sometimes run into a person that makes the trip a bit more enjoyable. Our man FL is just one of those rare folks that stand out amongst the crowd. I consider it an honour to have been allowed to know him and have the distinct pleasure to have shared a cockpit with him.....my last helicopter flight actually.
All the best in his new endeavour...."it's your Honor" now.

Lemming-like, I hasten to add my congratulations to all of those above. Every now and again the Establishment does something of which all right-thinking citizens can heartily approve!
I only met you once and sat enthralled by your gentle lecture that expanded our understanding of the Law and the CAA......
Best Wishes, Your Honour. I fear that the nom-de-plume Flying Lawyer will not grace this forum again and I understand why this might be so, but we will be the poorer for it, and I thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience with us.
Soft Landings!
