Was called out on the SAR that day, however recalled before going on site. My flatmate flew a few of the recoveries, a very pragmatic guy who was deeply affected by the experience, as the whole country was. We provided input into the original investigation, and the consensus viewpoint was quite strongly held, until Justice Mahon's insightful review occurred. The Royal commission report, and the revelations that uncovered remain the most profound shock in my brief 45 years flying. As a safety officer at that time, involved in investigations, that changed my view for the next 40 years.
The visual illusion was remarkable, and the relocation of a way point incidental to a notamed aid outage that impacted a previous nomenclature/position effor was devastating.
but for the grace of God go many crew that operate in that area.
