As you sit in your cell on Christmas Day, here are some happy photos of your newly restored cub G-KURK; airworthy and certificated, test flights completed and now. READY TO FLY TO SOUTH AFRICA.  ( JUST REQUIRES A PILOT )

From Sabine: Maurice phoned when I was on one of the best known Christmas markets in Berlin. He was let out of his cell for only one hour a day. And he asked whether we could organise that two of his three planes could be shipped from Neadsville in Florida. He'd offer the third one in exchange...

He also wondered whether anybody could get hold of the medical records from the clinic he attended after he landed close to Mr Bush's ranch at the time...

Please note that Norman Scarth fled the country he fought for to avoid another stay in a psychiatric 'hospital'.   Norman writes:

I rely on memory at the moment, but will check the dates:
My ten year sentence (six years in prison, four years on extended licence) started on 25th March 2001 in Doncaster Prison, from where I was 'ghosted' to several others.  My own cast-iron appeal was to be heard in July 2002, but it was hi-jacked by the corrupt barrister Mark Barlow, from Manchester.  Without any consultation with me whatsoever, he dropped my appeal, & it was he who made application to have me committed to Newton Lodge 'Gulag' Mental Hospital, Wakefield - 'for assessment'.    To do this, Lord Justice Rose had to quash the prison sentence.  It could be said that on that occasion I had been 'sectioned' (to use that ridiculous word), & on 25th November 2002 I was taken to Newton Lodge.   After three months, the prison sentence was re-imposed, effectively saying that I was not 'mentally ill'.    

On 25th March 2005, having served four years (2/3rds of the six), I had 'Paid My Debt to Society', & was due to walk free.  Instead, I was UNLAWFULLY dragged back to Newton Lodge, NOT as a patient (neither needing nor receiving any treatment), but as a captive, just as much as Terry Waite, John McCarthy, Brian Keenan in Beirut, Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, Ken Bigley & Margaret Hassan in Iraq.  On that occasion there had been not even the pretence of 'Sectioning'.    

After a year or so in the 'Medium Security' Newton Lodge, I was then moved to the 'Low Security', Lynfield Mount, Bradford - which was even worse to begin with, though it did improve.  Lucky to come under a Consultant Psychiatrist who was not a puppet of The State (AS SO MANY ARE!), I was eventually put on a farcical 'rehabilitation programme' for six months, & was released as 'cured' in the Spring of 2007.  So,  I was 'lawfully'(??) incarcerated in a Nuthouse for three months, & UNLAWFULLY  for a further two years or so.

PS:  "Neither needing nor receiving treatment"?  At Newton Lodge they were mad keen to use the 'liquid cosh' on me;  Only by a miracle was I able to avoid that fate.     NS.
