Words to pick out from that...dangerous..........addictive............cha llenging. And he gave the gig to an unqualified pilot due to his romantic trip to Paris making him unavailable to fly Sala. Criminal, literally.

Re: UPDATED: David Henderson - Found guilty.

I'd forgotten about that. You're right about no money to follow. I'm still hopeful there's a paper trail somewhere. If not, why not?

From the evidence reported as presented in court, these types of flights are done on the nod with text records being the most damning. Apart from bank transfers, no paperwork at a guess.

It's a really shocking retrospective video. I had no idea this kind of thing went on. I'm not sure if it's been covered, but does he lose his license? Will he ever be allowed to fly commercially again? I haven't seen this mentioned but I kind of assumed he'd be 'struck off' like an MD. I don't know.

Re: UPDATED: David Henderson - Found guilty.

Wow a truly shocking watch Wozza
How ironic he talks about “ditching a plane in the Atlantic”
An impossibility I’d imagine at night during an atrocious storm plus he goes on to say he’s known eleven experienced pilots that hadn’t made it- he’s just hung himself right there by employing a pilot who didn’t have the correct paperwork as well as the actual plane’s owner stating she never wanted ibbotson to fly her plane again!!
Don’t tell me Henderson wasn’t aware of the shocking weather that night - he must have been in touch with ibbotson with regards to time lines and McKays orders to have Sala at Cardiff
The next day was clear blue sky and flat calm - I remember the weather that evening and the news breaking the plane had gone missing
If only…….

I'd be very surprised if the CAA don't suspend all of his licences indefinitely.

In fairness he was talking about taking something like that across the Atlantic, rather than the channel. Which presumably is dangerous and challenging.

Very chilling indeed , thanks for posting

A single prop plane....across the Atlantic ....in itself is highly questionable and definately not recommended as is flying a single prop plane across the Channel at night in poor weather. In the clip, Henderson mentions the number of people who have died carrying out this type of work. It's as though he was looking, one day, to fly off into the setting sun with the intention of not being bothered whether he made it or not. Clearly, a risk taker.

I would say so, 4/5 hours over some of the roughest seas in the world and a few storms to contend with…can be bad enough on a jumbo!

Maybe to someone who is used to delivering tiny planes across the Atlantic, the trip from Nantes to Cardiff didn't seem as risky as it should have.

Thanks for that.

It's really unsettled me seeing that video I have to say. Didn't expect it to.

Henderson will have plenty of time to reflect on his poor errors of judgment at Her Majesty’s Pleasure
