The rental Cessna involved is this one:

It is no longer with the Vliegclub since 2013, it got sold to a Lelystad-based operator which rents out aircraft from time to time.
The current owner of Cessna 172 PH-EAM very likely does not want the custom of the arrested Dutch pilot anymore....

Merseyside's most wanted fugitive was caught trying to sneak into the country in a light aircraft.

Paul Scott, 32, was wanted over the murder of Anfield man Francis Brennan,
whose tortured body washed up on a Spanish beach,
and over an alleged role in a £4bn international cocaine ring.

Police swooped on Scott, of Summer Seat, Vauxhall, after he flew from Holland to a remote airstrip in Norfolk on Tuesday night.

The Dutch pilot of the Cessna 170 plane was also detained at East Winch Airfield, near King’s Lynn. Scott was found with fake Belgian identity documents and 2,000 Euros in cash.

Officers from Norfolk Police and Border Force were waiting for the aircraft to touchdown after suspicions were raised ten days earlier, when the pilot landed in the same airfield in a different :!: aircraft.

Scott’s arrest comes two weeks after the National Crime Agency launched a manhunt and issued an appeal through the ECHO.
