Colin Richard Forman was a classic misfit, an arrogant, angry young man with serious mental health problems, that should have been picked up on, long before he left his bitter, destructive mark on the world.

He wasn't even a good pilot, having failed his navigation tests - and forgetting completely about the time difference between W.A. and the Northern Territory when he set out on his suicide mission. It was lucky he did, or the death toll would have been much higher.

I can still remember my shock at the news of his low act, it must have reverberated around the world. I trust he's wallowing in eternal hellfire torment and misery for the utter evil that he perpetrated.

He should never have been buried in Alice Springs cemetery, his remains should have been taken out to the remotest part of Australia and discarded like trash, with no record of him ever having lived.
