John Purdey,
It seems that our game of "truth and consequences" has come to an end.
You have learned well from your "Masters", young apprentice.
Only enter into evidence that which suits the cause. Studiously ignore everything else.
No matter. Your answer to my Q1 give me all I need.
If the Boeing and TANS simulations were not true and accurate portrayals of events, then it is impossible to deduce any "facts" from them. You admitted this for the first time.
By producing simulation evidence to the HOL as "facts", Sir William and Sir John were deliberatlely attempting to mislead them.
This could only be due to the fact:
a. They were deliberately being "less than honest."
b. They had been badly briefed by their Staffs.
Either way,it was a pretty shoddy attempt to influence the outcome.
The "dumb" civilians were clever enough to see through the attempt.
When in a hole stop digging.
It is you that insisted on simple yes / no answers but were completely unable to follow your own instructions.
"what did the two pilots say to each other, What does it matter."
Every competent Accident Investigating Branch in the world regards CVR evidence almost as important as ADR evidence. It is essential to find out not only what happened but why it happened. If you cannot see the importance of this you are clearly no expert on Flight Safety or Accident investigation matters.
