Not trying to get into a slanging match here Oldfella and I'm all for an open reporting culture so everyone can learn from somebody else and not have to learn in the heat of battle.
However things 'may' have changed since you did your time (my time was later) and let me tell you the big 'they' in defence do care (rightly or wrongly, and I have found out first hand!) what gets out into the public domain and employ people to watch and report ie civil contracters.
I love the fact the story from the players who were there is available for other aircrew to learn from. My point is I'm not so sure 'they' will, and by their own hands these guys may now get a little heat (wrongly of course, but that won't matter).
And it would have to be the fastest ever turnaround for a RAAF investigation!
I'm off to herkybirds, sounds like a good site!
