Re: the HCAP statement – if that is literally what was stated, then the person who wrote it should have known that the chase-plane used in the UK to Australia trip was a Pilatus Porter (Turboporter?) and not a Cessna Caravan.
I think the current Master at HCAP and last years Master must be a bit weary having penned three citations for TCT.
They obviously got their press releases mixed up.
Judging by the accuracy of past press releases re TCT this is understandable
My sources tell me the current Master Captain Peter Benn was determined TCT received the medal to the point of threatening to resign if he was opposed.
Where this leaves Boeing with their solo statement that misled the worlds press remains to be seen.
