Unacceptable that he didn't lose his license.
Losing his license does not necessarily prejudice him doing his job, he can still drive on MoD property. Either way 143mph in a 50mph zone is totally unacceptable and dangerous, at that level of speed he's lucky to not be facing a dangerous driving / due care and attention charge

Though not to standard sentencing guidelines - he was let off lightly when he should have been banned. 145% of speed limit is sufficient for a ban, he was doing 286%.

Equivalent speed in a 70 mph limit 200.2 mph.
