Then there are also those foolish enough to believe;
a) The Investigator actually had the skills to conduct such an investigation (which he didn't) and;
b) The Investigator was not a government footstool who was always going to ensure his investigation report blamed the crew otherwise his employer (the government) would be held liable and accountable and have to cough up a settlement amount to the deceased relatives, which at the time would have sent NZ broke.
And you post this classic;
Those that think whiteout obscured Mt Erebus at all times during the descent from 16,000ft, as it was never sighted at any time. Those that think going past Beaufort Island on the wrong side and not noticing is acceptable, then no amount of discussion, and fact, is going to change there beliefs, obviously.
If you actually believe what you have written then there is absolutely no doubt that you sir are Mr Chippendale reincarnated.
It took the intelligent non flying Mahon to understand, grasp, and expose 'whiteout' in this accident. No wonder there were/are pilots and aviation experts down to this day who still hold a grudge against Mahon. A number of 'experts' from the day were truly shown up to be exactly what they are - incompetent deceptive amateurs serving as the governments whore.
