The silence is deafening.
The lack of rumors over this tragedy is causing some unwritten speculations behind the scenes.
Was this an operational flight or a post maintenance test flight. A test flight just after dawn and in what was stated as heavy rain or IFR maybe, sounds unlikely.
Surely Bristow’s Operational Control would have stopped that from occurring in any case, or at least placed two pilots in the aircraft.
There are enough Aussie pilots working there that must have a better idea as to the real cause.
