Thanks, Prospector. I'll try and read those books you mention.
I have been quoting from the Report of the Royal Commission, not "from Mahons book, in which he tries to justify his many opinions."
I have always thought Royal Commissions were to establish facts, not opinions.
Do you have any facts that disprove those found by the Royal Commission that completely demolish your argument that the pilots were not permitted "to descend below 6000 feet in VMC conditions to any altitude authorised by McMurdo Air Traffic Control." Are you suggesting that Captain Wilson's own evidence was wrong?
