The Website, Part 7, includes:

"The Contingency Plan"

Greg47 says: "David sounds like your having a lot of fun. How do you explain the one way radio contact from the Electra. There was no mention of turning back"

Greg, when you read the website, you must have missed out that her Receiver system was cactus and also you seem to have missed the opening subject of Part 7.

It seems to be a common failing. Some people seem to have missed the whole content of the website when they read it.

As for Earhart not mentioning a turn back in her radio calls, there were lots of other things you would expect to hear in radio calls made on a long distance flight, such as "Correct position and time at that position" calls; "Fuel state" updates; "Wx conditions" and "Whether a speed mentioned" is IAS,TAS or G/S and which nominate it is in either of Statute MPH, Knots, Furlongs per Week or Leagues per Fortnight.

If the British manufacturer of lighting equipment on Motor Vehicles named "LUCAS" is colloquially known as "Lucas, the Prince of Darkness", then surely Earhart should also be known as "Earhart, the Princess of Silence"...

I rest my case and repeat the website: www.earhartsearchpng.com
