Sounds familiar ? The CCA has statuory powers * without * 

a " Duty of Care" 

- as far as I can gather - at least where overseeing of aircraft maintainance
is concerned. See also , the IRA motar attack on heathrow a while back - 
unexploded moatar rounds in the airfield  boundary , airport remained 
open, no civil action or criminal charges followed IIRC .


Happy building & safe flying , 

Bryan.
