Let's remember, if it wasn't for them and NZALPA, the Honourable Justice Peter Mahon may never have had the opportunity of displaying his impartial and well balanced findings.
Peter Mahon died on 11 August 1986, a folk hero, an outcast to politicians who declined to honour him, far from well off financially and embittered by his shabby treatment.
Taken from .John King publication "New Zealand Tragedies Aviation".

Folk Hero: noun: A hero in the eyes of a particular group of people.

3 holer, I guess you would be in that particular group.
