Вообще-то Фарриш летать умел. У него не было свидетельства об окончании аэроклуба, т.е. он был non-qualified pilot.
Из приговора
Flying Officer Farish of 72 Squadron was on 15.3.44 found guilty by General Court Martial of:
(a) An act likely to cause damage to one of His Majesty’s aircraft in that not being a qualified pilot he improperly and without authority took off and flew a Spitfire.
(b) Conduct to the prejudice of good order and Air Force Discipline he flew the same aircraft without authority contrary to K.R. and A.C.I. para. 693.
It seemed hardly necessary to split the charge between "taking off" and actually "flying"!
In the event, he was sentenced to be severely reprimanded and to forfeit 12 months seniority as a Flying Officer. The finding and sentence were confirmed.
