Desert Dingo,

"It doesn't appear he was very successful with his insisting when he was on the four air New Zealand flights that he testified flew below 6000 feet."

On the contrary, they successfully missed Erebus every time.

" FFS Prospector! Does the fact that it was the sworn testimony of the person who gave the briefing mean anything to you. Are you suggesting he was another one telling fibs?"

Another one telling fibs?? was it only the people that disagreed with Mahons theories the ones that told fibs.

If you are so convinced Mahon was correct, how do you explain the following from the Privy Council???

In their judgement, delivered on 20 Oct 1983, the five Law Lords of the Privy Council dismissed thje commissioners appeal and upheld the decision of the Court of Appeal decision, which set aside the costs order against the airline, on the grounds that Mahon had committed clear breaches of natural justice. They demolished his case item by item, including Exhibit 164 which they said could not "be understood by any experienced pilot to be used for the purpose of navigation", and went even further, saying there was no clear proof on which to base a finding that a plan of deception, led by the company chief executive had ever existed.

They demolished his case item by item, including Exhibit 164 which they said could not "be understood by any experienced pilot to be used for the purpose of navigation",

Surely that from the highest law court available should tell you something, but perhaps not.
