So who are you to determine that the WA Government needs a good slapdown? I note that you work for the ABC. Enough said. We all know where they stand . Which part of lock-downed Australia do you reside in? In WA, we're happily going about our normal lives, including attending the AFL Grand Final which cant be held in Victoria. Comments please?

Wasn't there a report that investigators who were able to open the Chief Pilot's home computer found a lot of data on it that indicated he had planned this for some time, maps of the Indian ocean, etc, etc?

Harry and Roy - you are both dead right. I have a pic which I took a couple of years ago in The Museum of London, who over many years took thousands of core samples in London right back to the first footprint. The UK was then part of Europe, and a later ice age resulted in a glacier from the north cutting out the now English Channel. The pic is a bar chart of the differing temperature levels with the peaks and troughs 50,000 years apart. From the very beginning the levels of high and low temperatures have been almost equal since time immemorial, and we are currently at the peak of the latest warm period, so a cold period is due in about 50,000 years. Keep up the good work.

Slightly off topic, but when serving in the US in 77-79, I had the pleasure to be able to visit AAFB in a group of foreign NCOs, and one of the highlights was being able to board AF2, a B707. AF1, a B747 was enclosed in a separate compound with a troop of Marines on guard around the perimeter. We were told that AF2 was the former AF1 from the Kennedy era, and was the aircraft that LBJ was was sworn in on whilst transiting back to DC.
