Denigration of the RAAF
Mike Hart, thank you for your post which clearly identifies what any fair minded person would feel in relation to Mr Smith's remarks about where the blame lies for the loss of VH-MDX.
Might I suggest you make the same posting on the threads which have attracted much comment, i.e. that which is headed "Channel 7 Sunday Night Program about VH-MDX" and one headed simply "VH-MDX".
As a now retired former long term member of the RAAF, PPL and Flight Engineer I share your view that the assertion by Mr Smith that "The RAAF sent five people to their death" is deeply offensive as well as baseless and unfair. I have personally messaged Mr Smith using my real name to express my feelings. Mr Smith has not had the courtesy to respond, which is not surprising given his strident reluctance to retract his comment.
