David Henderson told the court he was 'badly affected' after realising the plane went down in 2019.

"I think I rang Cardiff to see what time it was expected, they didn't know," he said.

Earlier, as the prosecution drew a close to its case, the court heard more about Mr Henderson's version of how the flight came about by means of a letter sent to the Civil Aviation Authority in April 2020.In the document, Mr Henderson said he had received a phone call from football agent Willie McKay asking for an aircraft between 18 and 21 January, 2019.

Mr Henderson said there was no discussion about payment at the time, and he had "previously made it clear to Mr McKay that the flights were private".He said: "I was never paid a fee by Miss Keely - she offered me the use of the aircraft on a fuel-only basis.
