So, the day before the crash, Aus Corporate Jet Centres asks CASA "Are we the registered operator yet? We've applied yonks ago", CASA says "Yep, it's yours" and now they're saying "Nothing to do with us - someone else was flying "our" plane under his AOC, business name, etc etc..."

If it wasn't their plane, why the second application to transfer the registration into their name? Why the follow-up email? Which now begs the question: Who actually did own this million-dollar aircraft, if ACJC applied to have it as theirs but says "But but but it wasn't our plane"

And people wonder why the industry is in such a state?

Makes me wonder if CASA will now have a good look at ACJC and their administration given that "their" plane was flown by someone who - apparently - had nothing to do with them, in a commercial operation, and just how often this kind of thing goes on....
