Unfortunately what we are left with now is an extended time frame for completion and the opportunity to learn the lessons from an incident has long since disappeared.
BASI was nothing more then A RAAF old boys club. Having the misfortune to end up there after 89 in the bid to feed the family, and used to the discipline of the Flight Deck, it was a whole new experience watching the Public Service at work and play,and was too much for this bloke, who fled OS and back to the Flight Deck, which made sense.
