Meadowbank
They manually changed waypoint (thus not embroiled in an emergency, one could safely assume) at which time they altered course tp the RIGHT by 3deg - it was this track that they then held until the final evasive manouvre (which showed control).
They did not just plod on through waypoint change.
A simple explanation is that the last bit of the leg to the turn was being judged by reference to a transponder at the helipad - except that some b*****d had moved it to/substituted it with another half a mile inland.
Plot it on a chart - spot on - that 3deg turn to the right is a precious clue.
Antenna
Two points:
Unanswered radio call: on its own this anomaly on the calls could be regarded as insignificant (as regulars on this thread have insisted – I disagree) but together with a confused picture of the available radar track one has to wonder what is going on - perhaps there was more dialogue but the recordings were mislaid! Either it’s a circus or the powers that be are covering their embarrassment.
SEALS
I was told that the SEALS were there before UK personnel and were challenged.
OK, they could have been called by higher authority as they were stationed nearby – but surely the UK personnel would have been told to expect them at the site? And apart from medical help to casualties and cordoning off the area (to prevent unnecessary disturbance of the scene!!!!) how can they justify plodding about the crash site?
