In respect of the details of the invoice for the Bell Airways flight from Waterford to Dublin, I assume the return flight was empty. I suspect the flight from Filton involved an aircraft that was sourced in England. I do not imagine Bell sent an aircraft to Filton to fly to Dublin. As Bell Airways is part of a much larger group, it may not have operated the aircraft itself. The company which supplied the aircraft may have invoiced Bell, which simply passed on a summary invoice. I ask the witnesses to investigate whether Bell received a background invoice from the company which operated the flight from Filton to Dublin and back.
