Dealing with as many points raised as I can, yes, Paul Medhurst was a UN Pacekeeper when they received the Nobel Peace Prize. He's never pretended to have received it in his own right, but rightly takes pride in his work for the UN, in the course of which he sustained combat-related in injuries, in ...
Jump to postOn mature reflection I think five Dash 200s rolled off the Renton assembly line, but only four were delivered to Braniff, the fifth plane having been written off, sadly. (I imagine Braniff refused to accept the pile of bits!)
Jump to postOh dear, more ad hominem attacks! I earn royalties from the sale of my book, but I could hardly live off them! Most of my income is derived from my legal work. ChrisKen might like to think I've been disgraced but it's the CPS and Thames Valley Police who stand disgraced given the fresh evidence whic...
Jump to postThanks BirdBrain - you have a modest moniker, if I may say so, as your brain is clearly bigger than the average bird's! Zia al-Huq most definitely not an accident, CIA knew about it in advance. Friend of mine who used to fly U-2s out of Peshawar hinted as much a few years ago. He was serious CIA by ...
Jump to postWith respect, Chris, if that's your first name (I don't do anonymous posts and am always willing to put my name to my intelligence analysis) asking where the pilot is, is a legitimate question. We still have a missing pilot. Now it doesn't follow that murder was done and that the crash was rigged, b...
Jump to postThank you the Flying Disk! I do try and respond to posts, Chris Ken, but I don't bully or belitle, nor do I rush to conclusions. I commented on the Malibu crash as a fresh topic. Staying with the Malibu, you speak as though I had never heard of "Aviate, Navigate, Communicate". I have actua...
Jump to postSOPO expires in the next few weeks, ChrisKen! You haven't engaged with my points - a conviction based on fabricated evidence is worthless, or are you saying that it is appropriate for the police to manufacture evidence, conceal evidence damaging to their case and mislead the court? Where do you live...
Jump to postBefore anyone even asks how I could have been tried in England for an offence said to have been committed in its entirety in New Zealand, the answer is that the English courts lacked jurisdiction. The arrogance of the CPS with respect knew no bounds. The prosecution was a wilful interference with th...
Jump to postIn answer to Blueberry Wheats I don't do conspiracy theories! I'm an intelligence analyst, not a conspiracy theorist, indeed I debunk a number of conspiracy theories in my book, including the one about the Ndola DC-6B crash, which has just had a recent airing. No one has come up with an answer to th...
Jump to postHappy New Year everyone! JT610 has indeed been on my radar. Sounds like a pitot tube issue, BUT, if it was pitots, what caused them to fail? There's more than one on a 737 Max! As always I have an open mind (this is NOT an invitation to 777Jet to make a sarcastic comment!!) and I would welcome peopl...
Jump to postWell I seem to have convinced some one in the French BEA!
Merry Christmas to one and all.
Has everyone now accepted my arguments on MH370? About time!!
Jump to postNo, but the French will be aware of my views. Most intel agencies monitor my output. A separate thread has been opened re the French investigation. BEA are right with respect to query the Inmarsat data. For those new to this thread I have been challenging the Inmarsat data since 2014. It cannot be r...
Jump to postI see that the MH370 relatives continue to be treated with contempt.
It really is time that governments came clean with what they know. I was hoping that the new Malaysian government would be more honest than its predecessor, but apparently not.
Book sales steady, thanks 777 Jet! No change since before I joined the site, book has never been out of print since it was published. Improving sales was not the object of joining this site, improving the safety of air navigation was. Yes there was a brief search of the SCS, but it was quickly calle...
Jump to postThe Dutch report on MH17 is junk - there were two missiles, not one. One was a Buk, alright, but a Chinese Buk, a HQ-16A. No one has seriously looked in the SCS up till now. That may change with the new Malaysian Government. At the moment governments are frightened of searching there, because they'r...
Jump to postI can't help it if I have a brain, 777 Jet! Having got one I prefer to use it, rather than let it atrophy like a Cabinet Minister or mainstream journalist. The organ-harvesting theory is a new one on me. There is organ-harvesting in China, but the MH370 shoot-down is far more likely to be linked to ...
Jump to postMore good news! The Malaysian PM has been ditched and the governing coalition defeated, a seismic shift in Malaysian politics. I suspect the MH370 scandal played its part. The Malaysian government undermined its integrity by pretending that MH370 flew across Malaysia.
Jump to postWell said 777Jet! The MH370 'search' degenerated into a farce some time ago. The wreckage of MH370 isn't hidden, Moose, it's on the floor of the South China Sea, right where Isaid it was all along. The current search is going to come up with the odd shipwreck and that's about it. Moving the search b...
Jump to postSad news re the fatality on Southwestern - was she buckled in, I wonder? I also wonder about Southwestern's maintenance policy. Surely it would be better to have the aircraft maintained in the US? One would hope that metal fatigue in a turbine blade would be picked up on routine maintenance, if not ...
Jump to postThank you Dutchy! Yes, I suspect that both Einstein and dear old Stephen were about 160. As I repeatedly emphasise, IQ is a matter of objective assessment, not subjective. Suffering as I do from excessive modesty (I'm working on it!) my own estimates of my IQ, to the extent that I thought about it, ...
Jump to postAs it happens I was discussing the Voloshin murder with a CIA contact earlier. Most assuredly not suicide! The timing is interesting, as Russophobe MPs have resurrected the MH17 controversy in relation to GO2's false flag nerve agent attack in Salisbury. As it happens I'm going to the same hospital ...
Jump to postActually, Ian Fleming was aware of the DVD, which he renamed SPECTRE, so there! My book was peer-reviewed BTW, and I have published in peer-reviewed journals.
Jump to postA rerun of that splendid 007 movie You Only Live Twice in the UK this afternoon prompts me to revisit the Mount Fuji Air Disaster, the tragic loss of BOAC Boeing 707-436 G-APFE on 5th March 1966. What's the connection with 007? Harry Saltzman and Cubby Broccoli, along with other members of the YOLT ...
Jump to postGood question re Putin - I didn't say I thought Putin was the target. The rumor is doing the rounds however. I agree - I can't see why he would need to go commercial, but then a late friend of mine once said hello to Clement Attlee on a Tube train, after he'd been chucked out as PM. Odd things somet...
Jump to postDelighted to say that my fellow author John Harris and I are meeting up next week to discuss Hess. Dodgy looking crash in Russia, I am discounting the rumour that President Putin was supposed to be on board, but watch out for a chap named Ivanov. Tried to warn an associate of the company risking sha...
Jump to postThank you Dutchy, Raton has a nasty smell about it. Turning to another aviation mystery, Hess, which has resurfaced in recent days, thanks to the Daily Mail. There is no doubt that the Deputy Fuhrer was NOT intending to land at the airstrip at the Duke of Hamilton's hunting lodge, as historians have...
Jump to postThis is very interesting. There is no doubt that the Comet 1s were brought down by IEDs. The three books listed on the Comet are all in my library and are all very good. I think it's Darling which has the info on the problems they had at Lasham breaking up Comet 4s. The skin was thicker than it need...
Jump to postNo, but I'm going to! On my to-do list! They may of course be being paid around the back and know full well that the plane isn't there. I'll have a better idea after I've talked to them. My sense is that they're good people and are acting in good faith, they just haven't kept up with the literature....
Jump to postWell we can safely rule out a shoot-down of the Sydney Beaver! Sabotage, e.g. of the elevator cable, cannot be ruled out at this stage. Two of the dead passengers had political connections, and there is as yet no logical explanation of why the seaplane should suddenly have dived into the Hawkesbury ...
Jump to postCrownvic may have misunderstood the question. LiamAero - this could be very important. FEA simulations on the Comet are rarely undertaken for fear of exposing the official claims of structural break-up of the Comet 1s for the nonsense they are. Fuselage length of the Comet 1 and 1A was 93 ft, span 1...
Jump to postBut if your 777 is under missile attack how do you evade it? You're in a combat situation whether you like it or not. I do not underestimate my readers, but I am trying to get a difficult point across - that the Bad Guys do not respect civil aviation norms and are willing to attack airliners in inte...
Jump to postThe media won't mention my analysis - it's too powerful! It has however been adopted in part by the Malaysian Opposition. What is truly laughable with respect is the idea that a professional airline pilot would fly a laden wide-body airliner towards Antarctica, with no airfield able to handle her. N...
Jump to postAh, I thought I had dealt with MH370! Just to recap - the plane did have enough fuel to reach the southernmost 'ping' point, no verified wreckage has been found in the Indian Ocean, just 777 bits which could have been planted, and some 747 bits early on, the proposed track would have had the 777 pai...
Jump to postHmm, not sure your's wasn't the more puerile post BlueberryWheats, no offence intended! UN not involved in embassy location Dutchy! Jerusalem has been Israel's capital since 1948. It is the seat of the Knesset, which I have visited and the is the seat of the Supreme Court and government. Tel Aviv is...
Jump to postAll gone very quiet! Has everybody finally accepted that MH370 was shot down by the PLA Navy?
Well done to President Trump for recognising the reality that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. It has been since 1948. Britain should follow, and move our Embassy to the capital.
Correct during the day-time, more visible at night, I would respectfully suggest. My analysis is that the Fakour-2 was fired to starboard of track and was first seen by the co-pilot. Radar tracking suggests that MH-17 tried evasive manoeuvres, but of course they would have assumed that the missile w...
Jump to postChanging topics, disturbing appointment by Theresa May as UK Defence Secretary. It's clearly political - Williamson was Cameron's PPS and is a May loyalist. He has no interest in defence whatsoever. I doubt he could tell the difference between an F-35 and a P-35 (a Severskey ancestor of the storied ...
Jump to postNot spoken to him, but there were backchannel contacts with Anwar, who I gather is a very nice chap. Malaysian opposition well aware of the specifications of Malaysia's ATC radar, which would have detected MH370 had it flown through Malaysian airspace from the Diversion Point.
Jump to postThank you 9MMPQ! I think!
Yes, it is a lot for the FAs to do but every extra pair of eyes would help. If the ACARS is being jammed then yes, you'll need cell-phones or satellite-phones anything that can communicate.
Sorry, 777, we were on different flight paths! I was referring to the SURFACE debris field, where the narrow debris field at the Pentagon is a fair comparison. Your points on the ocean floor debris field are well made, with respect. Water not being compressible a high-speed ocean impact mimics a hig...
Jump to postActually there's more backdoor finance deals than you might imagine - someone invests in a car company competing with German manufacturers, shuts it down or mismanages it, and is reimbursed offshore.It was done to Jensen in the 60s. Engineers were told they couldn't fix problems like overheating. I ...
Jump to postAh, but there's been no serious search of the SIO, 777 Jet! She won't be in one piece, she went in fast and steep, hence only one bit of wreckage on the surface. Lots of things get covered up - look at the Las Vegas shootings. Two shooters, minimum, cross-fire, with a belt-fed 30 ca. and all the med...
Jump to postLots of people agree with me inside the Intel Community, plus the Chinese and Australian governments, and probably the Malaysian as well! The SIO theory is a load of Janet and John nonsense. It's strictly for public consumption only, bit like man-made global warming. From the way that you're all hav...
Jump to postRaza may well have been threatened, but I am afraid he was off my radar. I am not all-knowing, although I may know a lot! My IQ is only off one chart! I suspect that Albert Einstein maxed out at about 165. Newton's IQ is more difficult to measure, but he was probably smarter than Einstein. MH370 lie...
Jump to postInteresting,wasn't aware that the Malaysian consul had been taken out! With official cover-ups we often find secondary assassinations. Raza may have discovered that the wreckage was a phoney. Looked at the ATSB Final Report on 370. It's Janet & John nonsense. It effectively confirms that 370 did...
Jump to postAgreed re ABM missiles - a long way from a sure shot. You would need to fire multiple missiles to ensure a reasonable kill probability. Any report suggesting the SIO is junk - the plane's in the South China Sea! There is still no answer to the arguments I and others have been putting forward. I back...
Jump to postResponding to 777 Jet, the situation is escalating, but I don't think hostilities will resume. Sanctions will bite a bit harder,but won't work, Trump can't resume hostilities unless there's an Act of War, and I think Pyongyang will stick to the war of words. It's not a stable situation however. If w...
Jump to postNo, they can't move mountains! I'll have a look at the Groom Dry Lake crash. Proof stays with the agencies - no offence, but only intelligence illiterates ask for proof! Asking an intel agency to release raw data is a bit like asking the Bank of England to hand over a few bars from its gold reserves...
Jump to postUnusually Dutchy, no! Sounds like a black project running into a glitch of some sort, but I've not looked at it.
