Bearing in mind the note, 'Transcript based on Mandarin version of English language transcript. Some wording may not be exact.'
What an understatement. Not only is the wording not exact, the terminology is all wrong. I have downloaded and listened to an hour of Lumpur control from liveatc.net and not once did anyone use the phrase "Kuala Lumpur ATC". All radio traffic uses simply "Lumpur".
Unfortunately liveatc.net only has a receiver on 132.8 and the NE sector is 132.6 so there is no MH370 traffic available to listen to.
The Telegraph has repeatedly asked Malaysia Airlines, Malaysia’s Civil Aviation Authority and the office of Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak to confirm the communications record; only the prime minister’s office responded, saying it would not release this data.
I find it unfortunate that they feel that the transcript, along with the last ACARS message are some big secret.
