General Sikorski murdered by Kim Philby. Dr Kelly by MI5 or Special Branch.
Great topics. Wrong thread.

Walters persistance has shown that CPLS was fitted. It took fifteen years.
Even if he can show beacon transmission on the Mull, I can think of three possible explanations:

1. Deliberate attempt to mislead the crew.
2. Simple misunderstanding. Man on ground not in the place crew thought he would be.
3. Technical malfunction. Right place, right time, but equipment generated incorrect range.
Walter says CPLS is "inherently reliable." So is DME.
In my time as a Navigator I remember submitting at least three serious incident reports relating to DME. As an SFSO, I probably dealt with around twenty.
Your theory may have some validity Walter, but you don't have evidence to back it up. If you accepted there were alternative possibilities you would be taken more seriously
