Mobile Phones
Well, recently I was paxing to SYD aboard a [non British] B777 [configured for inflight mobile phone use] where everyone awake was happily using their cell/mobile phones.
Good point - But! That aircraft was configured to be mobile phone friendly.
I think interference from mobile phones is a theory that should be looked at, as has previously been said. If it ‘s nothing at all to do with this then fine and dandy. But worth looking at and worth checking mob phone records from masts in that area. In fact - wouldn’t the ‘on’ mobile phone kick-in at just about the geographical point of the incident? I know nothing about mob phones, but worth investigation - even if it’s just for ‘elimination purposes’ as the police would say.
