Captain Sand Dune,

You are a bit astray regarding balance in the WGCDR Martin Sharp, RAF paper from the Fourays website: Fourays - The Australian Army Aviation Association Inc. There are errors of fact that I will identify later concerning aspects wherein I was involved and some of these perhaps result from his research as a visitor relying on a whole bunch of material in his bibliography that is pretty replete with hearsay and deficient in first party accounts.

You should perhaps review another paper on that website titled: 'The Tactical Air Support Group' by Owen Eather - consider Part 3 in particular. I can inform you more in this regard via a PM if you wish.

Over years, I have endeavoured to counter some of the misinformation in these documents and on that website improperly maligning the RAAF, but Fourays Executives have point blank refused to allow me response in my own words.

More to follow downstream.
