That's my understanding, too. The AAIB's own online search is pretty dire, partly because the underlying database is flaky.
Getting back to the original topic, while I enjoy a mystery as much as the next person, this one is changing criteria faster than I can keep up with so I'll leave the search to those with more patience than I have.
