The easiest way for people to establish the facts are to check out the transcripts themselves. Go to the NAA home page:
National Archives of Australia
Select "Search the collection".
On the basic search page, under 'Keywords', enter VH-MDX.
There will be a single result; select "view digital copy".
The first 22 pages are news clippings.
Read the transcripts, from page 241. Particularly pages 244 - 245 (time index 0853 for the inital Willy clearance and Sector 1 saying they could not accept), and page 246 (time index 0853.42 for the initial coastal request to Sydney Approach) to page 248. Pay particular attention to time index 0856.12 where FIS says "
Willy says he'd be able to clear him through his area".
Dick, I think you should make a public statement that the RAAF did absolutely nothing wrong and in fact assisted in every way in getting that aircraft a clearance.
