This extract from John King publication has also never been challenged

Because the findings of the Royal Commission id Inquiry on the cause of the disaster were limited in scope, being legally an opinion and not a statement of fact, they could not be appealed in legal terms, unlike the Office of Air Accidents investigation report, which remains the sole official account- and has never been officially challenged.
then hinting at the flawed judgement of Justice Mahon and Captain Gordon Vette
.

So all the people at McMurdo, and the other aircraft crews who reported that Ross Island was completely covered in cloud were mistaken in their observations?

The statement by Megan that the radar could not monitor the approved descent procedure has also proven to be incorrect or is he is accusing Vette of an "absurdity".

Can anyone advise the date that Captain Wilson was supposed to have advised the crew that any altitude the McMurdo Radar allowed them to descend to was actually made?
