Just a thought.
Rananin,
Thank you for the MEL information. Question remains if the faulty RA 1 was reported in the tech.log. The information that it failed twice before came from the data recorders.So there is a possibility the crew was unaware of the failure of RA 1.

Your interpertation on HF sounds very professional to me. Roger Green and James Reason would have been proud of you. My idea is that the Dutch AIIB will not release the CVR tapes as they adhere strickly to ICAO Annex 13
I was impressed by the press release by Mr.van Vollenhoven who gave us the factual information and findings from the preleminary investigation.
Good Flying!
John
