Australian police are investigating a former British military pilot suspected of involvement in the training of Chinese People's Liberation Army pilots at a flying school in South Africa, a Sydney court was told on Friday.
Federal police searched the Australian home of Keith Hartley, chief operating officer of the Test Flying Academy of South Africa (TFASA), in November, the Federal Court heard.
Britain and Australia have announced crackdowns on former military pilots working to train Chinese fliers, and Britain vowed to change its national security law to stop them working for intermediaries such as the South African flying school.
