Yeah, I think your right, I must admit its been a long while since I actually read the report, it all resurfaced around '98, or '99, the families of the victims were pushing for the inquest to be re-opened.
Rumor had it that the aircraft was carrying rocket fuel or something similar for Armscor, there was then talk of intimidation...and so on.
I believe that Armscor used civilian aircraft a lot in the '70's and '80s, probably had a lot to do with the sanctions.
But as you say, perhaps we should just leave it at that.
Anyone else know the likely outcome if one were to depressurise the cabin in the event of a cabin fire?
