Re: David Henderson goes on trial over charges linked to plane crash which killed Emiliano Sala

That won't fly. He's saying he (Ibbotson) "was the operator from my perspective" - I don't believe this was his perspective for a minute and in actuality - what Henderson is describing is that Ibbotson was the *pilot* to whom Henderson supplied McKay with in his role of operator. Very convenient Ibbotson is not here to coobberate that the expenses were only incurred by Henderson because he had forgotten his credit card! The evidence is damning in terms of invalidating his defence - he was the man operating the hire of the pilot and plane for McKay, and he knew D.I. wasn't adequately qualified - the owner had told him not to use him!

He's also brought up Willie mckay a few times
That also won't fly, he's just the guy that "ordered the taxi".

Absolutely no way is mckay guilty

There's got to be a better turn of phrase to use in this thread than "that won't fly"

agreed - made it look like Henderson has lied, covered his arse and lied some more - nice toucjh at the end when prosecutor pointed out henderson hasn't been in touch with ibbotsons widow - shows how self centered he is. I wonder if there are any other defence witnesses?

Re: David Henderson goes on trial over charges linked to plane crash which killed Emiliano Sala

Callum Davies is (or was) the Player Liaison Officer for the club - the one who (I think) offered the commercial flight to France and was waiting at Cardiff Airport to collect Emiliano Sala on his return flight that never arrived.

Not sure if there are any other club employees in the witness list - although Jack Mckay was at the time (and acted as go-between from his father/brother to Sala to offer the private flights).

David Smith is the engineer who DH told to keep quiet. Given the CO fault what he says is going to be very interesting which could make things even more serious

He's already been called, by the prosecution but also questioned by the defence (see 11.26 on day 3).

Re: David Henderson goes on trial over charges linked to plane crash which killed Emiliano Sala

Looks like the defence is to blame the pilot.
