That line of TTF's is exactly what I was going on about in the Poor Man's Radar thread on this forum yesterday.
The BOM knew there was a risk of TS's but refused to put it on the TTF until they had to.
The first TTF is a blatant lie because NOSIG meant no chance of TS for the next three hours. Well, the TS's turned up shortly after that. I can't believe they couldn't see that possibility, or are they just that incompetent?
I'm sure any pilot who happened to have access to the BOM radar when that first TTF went out would have said "bullcrap". But most pilots inflight don't have access to that.
The BOM needs to man up. Peoples' lives are at risk if a pilot turns up at an airport with a TS over the field and no options.
