There are a few more publications appertaining to Erebus that have not been mentioned on the ALPA website. Perhaps posting some of the content will explain why not.

The Erebus Enquiry; A Tragic Miscarriage of Justice. by Noel L'Estrange, who states:

" Across the world in the head office of ICAO at Montreal, the Royal Commissions report was closely studied by the Head of the Operations section, Duane Freer, who made this comment:

" What on earth is going on down there? It reads like something coming from a third world country"

History of New Zealand Antarctic Research Programme 1965-88. written by Bob Thomson;

" Air New Zealand and NZALPA went to some lengths to ensure that their senior pilots and members were seen as professionals who knew it all and did not therefore need to seek advice from elsewhere, such as the RNZAF,USAF.USN or the Division."

History of Civil Aviation in New Zealand, by Maurice E. McGreal.

"Bolt/Kennedy, L'Estrange and Mackley all challenge the judgement of the Royal Commissioner, Peter Mahon, and in those documents identify the Commissioners lack of understanding of Aviation."

New Zealand Aviation Tragedies by John King;

Chapter 1. The Place of Departed Spirits.

This is a very good precis of many of the findings, recollections,etc of many of the people who were involved in this catastrophe.
