Surely it’s up to someone’s defence lawyer in a court of law to prove incapacity, and therefore have charges dropped. Not for someone within the CPS to decide not to progress the case to court in the first place.
The CPS are perfectly entitled not to proceed with a case if there’s no prospect of a conviction; it happens all the time, and, if the man’s certified ga-ga (and you can bet his legal/medical team will ensure that’s the case,) they’re not going to spend the nation’s money on a pointless exercise.

Well the Spitfire very nearly wasn’t as the MAP were all in favour of Supermarine being made to build hurricanes.
No, they weren’t; they wanted Eastleigh to build Spitfires until the end of 1940, then go over to Beaufighters, probably as nightfighters. Castle Bromwich had an initial order for 1000 Spitfires, which they tried to modify into 600 plus 400 Whirlwinds, but Nuffield refused to have anything to do with it. Everything changed the moment that France fell, and day fighters assumed extra importance.

32939 is the Constant Speed Airscrew control, and, according to the G.A. drawing, 25’s long part is the Teleflex No.2 sliding screwed adaptor C2012 (MRC Ltd.) It fits onto a lever and ball joint on the C.S. unit behind the propeller.
Playing fields were mostly sold off to raise money, not because of any antipathy towards competitive games.
Not what was said at the time; a little back-covering going on, perhaps.
Regarding spelling, I think you may be behind the times.
What is happening now is of little concern. My point is they can’t resist meddling, and telling the peasants what’s good for them, then, when it’s proven to be a load of old toffee, others have to come along behind and clear up the mess.

I think a lot has to do with “them in charge” being totally incapable of believing that we might be able to think for ourselves, so they have to continually meddle, because it’s “in our best interests.”
We had school playing fields sold off, because losing wasn’t good for the little dears’ psyche, so sport should be banned; we’ve had spelling decreed as passé, so some school-leavers can’t construct a job application letter to save their lives.
Now that the public has got into the habit of waiting for “them” to do something, they’ve forgotten how to run their own lives.
