Where is Bailey's X?? -

Why’s and whatfor’s – Huh?

Good questions “V”.  One, of the many MH 370 ‘strange things’, which has always troubled me, is the massive ‘clamp down’ on information. I‘ve been wrong before this day, but it seems to me  had I lost a capital aircraft, 200 odd passengers and crew; in the middle of the night, in mysterious circumstances – that I would making sure that every bright mind on the planet had all; I do mean all the information I had; and, keep it updated. Sure, you’d get some strange and wonderful ‘theory’ to discount; but look at some of the sensible, rational, logical notions, provided from the very limited, ‘hard’ data available. Yes, they may be wrong, however, I believe that once the ‘immediate’ initial SAR operation came up dry, and before I launched into a multi million dollar search; every credible scenario had been examined and some sort of ‘best guess’ consensus had been reached.

Another item of concern is the ‘veil of secrecy’ (for wont of better). For example; why on earth would the RAAF deny access to all ‘photographic’ search evidence?  Why must a thing like the ‘first principles’ discussion be kept under wraps and covered by a duplicitous statement from the minister of NFI? There are other examples, but my point is – why? There is nothing ‘top-secret’ about a lost aircraft; no state secrets involved; no political scandal associated. But everything is kept ‘hush-hush’ – why? Why the secrecy?

Amongst others, there is the abrupt termination of the AMSA involvement and the insertion of ATSB; another is the point blank refusal to use sensible search technique and to doggedly stick to one small area. But, enough: looking at my notes for MH 370, there are eight pages of questions which, as yet, I have been unable to reduce since day one. In short, despite reading and analysing every small nugget of information I have been unable to satisfactorily answer any of my questions except that an aircraft was lost, even then, I occasionally wonder, over a beer or two, did they actually loose one?

The notion which keeps sneaking to the top of the pile is just who are ‘the criminals’?  

...Aye well, best stop there, lest we be accused of being contradictory; seems that if you don’t agree with certain travel writers; then by considering other options, you offend the sensitivities of those who believe that ‘they’ and they alone are the voice of MH 370 and would deny all rights to speculate or discuss or consider anything they did not pen. Which is as complete a bollocks as I have ever read.  “Explanation!” shouts GD from the back of the room; well, seems someone has got his panties in a bunch, is pissed off with BB and the Oz for daring to have an opinion, stealing thunder and for taking the odd pot-shot at the broken, discredited ATSB.  At least that is one less ‘opinion’ I have to read, less pontification to tolerate and one less ego to sooth. Happy thought, right there...

Toot – toot.

Now not wanting to get into the HSSS hair pulling, Turkey slapping & social media trolling, however I'd like to backtrack slightly, to this: Captain's Log 03.11.16: HSSS & DOI archive entries.

ATSB blind to pilot action
12:00amByron Bailey

The ATSB members, who are not pilots, are still pushing a dead pilot theory to fit in with their initial decision.

Invariably this will stir up more consternation and self-righteous indignation from the BB critics and ATSB biased supporters (like Mick & Ben S). However IMO the 'he said, she said' & 'the pilot did it vs the pilot didn't do it' is somewhat irrelevant in the grand scheme of the MH370 search and is merely another cleverly manipulated smokescreen to help cover-up the deficiencies of certain DIPs to the MH370 investigation and search effort.

IMO both BB & Ricardas make some valid points, that perhaps people in their rush to lambast the likes of Bailey, as an arrogant and ignorant former Skygod, should be considering and supporting... 

To refresh Ricardas made this IMO 'nail on the head' comment:

Ricardas

I find it extraordinary that the assumption is that if a pilot were in control, he would have deployed the flaps.  Why would he?  If he was trying to get the plane as far away from detection as possible, and wanted it to disappear permanently, his best bet would be to keep the flaps up, keep his speed up, and rely on a fast, hard, destructive landing when the plane finally hit the water.  

Pretty basic I would have thought. 

Now because so much of this is pure conjecture (even Hoody concedes..."You can never be 100 per cent [sure] and we are very reluctant to express absolute certainty, but that's the most likely scenario," ); I note yesterday that Mike (legend.. ) Chillit is still keeping an open mind on such things as the BB theory...    

Now remembering all the MSM pundits predicted that Trump would never win, here is a couple of MC tweets (which will inevitably be treated with pure gob-smacked incredulity & derision if you happen to be an ATSB-sexual ):

#MH370 That means the plane could just as easily have gone in 110 km WEST of sixth arc, as 110 km EAST. Big issue. Bailey might be right.

#MH370 It goes without saying that if Byron Bailey has been correct all this time, Canberra will be turned upside down and flushed.

#MH370 Here is a visual to put some of today’s work in perspective. Pretty clear now that the 6th Arc is the final usable ping.

Read the part in bold black print in the LH top corner of the MC pic - Oh no God forbid...

But in the interests of the EIRR (Earth is really round) society and generally keeping an open mind, here is a request:
"..Byron Bailey please show us your X.." -
