'Rick on The Roof' Beaten Up in Hospital

2008-10-14T04:34:00Z

After 27 months protesting on his 'own roof', following dubious court cases that deprived him of his home, Rick was beaten up and "trussed up like a chicken", as he said, before being dragged off the roof by two Welshmen in the employ of others. The two Irishmen who had 'bought' the property at auction were also arrested at the scene. The Irishmen were questioned on the possible matter of 'attempted murder' but later released while a seach goes on for the two welshmen. Rick was taken to Cardiff hospital before he appeared in Cardiff Magistrates on Wednesday morning charged with criminal damage. When released on bail Rick, still suffering from his head injuries, was soon back in hospital following a collapse on the road.. arrested again this morning and out again 3.30pm Thursday........full story later. Rick can be contacted on 07966523940

Tuesday was a somber day for the church service in the little Monmouthshire village of Skenfrith next to an old ruined Norman castle. It was in memory of a legend in the veterinary world, Alisdair Steele-Bodger CBE MA BSc FRASE FRAgS FRCVS, our President in 1972-3. I had the honour to get to know him in the good old days of the college, when it was based in Belgrave Square but that is another story, for another day!

. The church was full of family, 'vets', past BVA presidents, friends and old farm clients from his working life in Staffordshire. Before the service, however, having left the wee cub in a nearby stubble field, I leaned over the river bridge while thinking back on the good years with dad in veterinary country practice. I spied the many trout and a 2 lb grayling in the clear fast running water. "Must fly back with the rod next time and bring Kirstie for lunch in the pub", I thought. It only took 30 minutes to get there from St Donats castle, with a turbulent 30 knot tail wind, passing at least 5 more castles on the route. I could see from the air just why Henry V and King Richard had instilled so much hatred and apparent resentment into the locals, still very much evident today.

Now the weather was inclement both ways causing me to have to land, on the way home, on the bank of the beautiful salmon river, the Usk, to look for 'go juice' or 'motion lotion', as brother Mike would call it, from the nearby Esso station. Apart from coming face to face with an 'all working', singing and dancing live Russian tank, another story for later, the flying time from Skenfrith back to St Donats castle was 1 hour 25 minutes + with a ground speed, in gusts, down to 30 mph......memories of the Arabian desert in 2001 London to Sydney Air Race!.

The old girl suffered significant carburettor icing with loss in engine power on both legs of the journey, pushing up the already high adrenalin blood titre and all was not yet over, for one wet and windy evening, as my letter to the South Wales Police Chief may suggest:

Ms Barbara Wilding, Chief of South Wales Police,

Bridgend Police HQ, South Wales,

Thursday 2^nd October 2008

30^th September 2008, Police Incident number: [requested]

Upon my arrival at St Donats, Llantwit Major, South Wales, in my aircraft I soon became aware of a helicopter in the immediate vicinity. The police helicopter remained in the area for some time and then circled, low level, several times sufficient for the horses to break through the fence in panic.

At around 1905 local I telephoned air traffic who imparted information. I also telephoned the police station who also imparted to me more disturbing information. I was then made to wait approximately 25 minutes on the telephone in order to get through to someone who could leave a message for the helicopter crew. I hoped I would receive information that may explain that their actions were reasonable. I have received no reply.

In daylight of the 1^st October 2008 I found one horse in the field in so much pain he had to be shot.

As I am in court, yet again, against the South Wales Police on 3^rd October 2008 on the very same issue of the helicopter and deliberate destruction of police records can I have your personal assurance, this time, all records of the helicopter flight are preserved, including voice tapes, film footage, communications with Cardiff Air Traffic, on all frequencies, etc? At the last incident, when the helicopter was seen flying dangerously close to my Piper Cub, a ‘tail chase' across the Vale of Glamorgan, you refused to disclose any record of the event at all!

When I regularly request, under CPR Part 31, disclosure and inspection of routine police records I find your officers have conveniently destroyed them or cherry picked confidential police records to be revealed to the Royal College of Veterinary surgeons in support of your written complaint to have me struck off the veterinary register.

In case there may be doubt I enclose my now answered 11^th September 2008 letter to my current Member of Parliament as summary of your past conduct and the current state of the UK's judiciary. Also enclosed is rough copy, by way of e-mail attachment, of 5 of the current court actions for damages in various HM kangaroo courts around the land should you, as the defendant, wish to deny later of having any knowledge of what has been going on, on your very own patch, for the past 16 years.

Hurricane on track for the Texas Cub!

2008-09-11T23:52:00Z

100mph + winds are forcast so Alvin and Kandy are ready to move the little yellow cub 'up state' if Hurricane Ike gets any nearer but not too near Crawford, I hope.

Pilots Licence in My Hot and Sticky Hand!

2008-08-29T19:03:00Z

The CAA, today, special delivery, kindly sent me a licence to fly again!

Clearly, they have double checked that the report from Uncle Sam, causing immediate suspension of my licence, that I had been "engaged in criminal activity" and had landed on the road, right outside the gates of President Bush's Ranch in Texas, was quite erroneous. The Federal Aviation Authority confirm no aviation offence had occured when I had actually landed in a farmer's field, 5 miles from the ranch in a severe thunder storm.

Now all I need is a US Visa, as quick as possible, in order to fly the wee cub onto Argentina and the British Falkand Islands.

That obtaining a visa is not going to be easy. I think I may need 'a little help from my friends', as the Beatles would say.

Meantime, tomorrow, it is up with the early birds to motor the bike down south and pick up another WW2 Piper Cub. I will fly her back, over the water, to South Wales for work on her for a proposed flight south for Cape Town, South Africa. Only Basking sharks to contend with, I hope!

L Klee [lloydklee@aviationsafety.co.nz] was put in the post, for me, the latest French distress beacon but with only 12 miles to cross, between England and Wales without a dinghy either, I'll risk it.

Some urgent ground work was needed today for her arrival. The afternoon was spent trying to get those damned horses to pay for their keep and eat down the rest of my 600 feet runway. I managed to erect two of the three wind socks vital for the landing, usually hampered with a cross wind from the prevailing westerly. The chain saw was at work as well, that Kirstie will no doubt notice in day light, my having lopped off the top of a tree a little for a slightly shallower approach. Every inch counts when handling a new lady.

Now Only Four Aircraft and Hangar Full of spares to be Sold

2008-08-26T18:26:00Z

1946 Burma War Auster 6a (same used for 1951 Vivian FoulkesTrans Antarctic Expedition) and Gypsy engines failed to reach eBay reserve price yesterday so going for 'best offer' to make room for my new pretty 1943 WW2 Piper Cub preparation for Everst or Cape Town?

A 'worthy Charity' needed to raise money for, on either journey? Also any ideas, please, on how to persuade President Bush to let me back into Texas to continue cub flight on to Argentina?

Thankyou

PS CAA say I have a pilot's licence in the post and Lloyd Klee, from Auckland, New Zealand, who sold me the beacon that saved my life in the Carribean, put down the girl to tell me, a minute a go, the French manufacturers are expediting , via Mirage jet, their latest model to allow me to fly from Southampton to Cherberg this week end, without nappies!
