HVH's magic O&O minions - 
In the course of backing up another one of Mr Peabody's enlightening posts - see Airports thread post: Safety Case????? - I just so happened to bear witness to the magical skills of Hoody's O&O fairies...
Let me explain: -
To begin I was pleasantly surprised that Hitch managed to trump me on the discovery of the 'investigation within an investigation' - choccy frog to Hitch...
As is now SOP for the ATSB there was no media release/announcement, nor was the investigation reference AI-2018-010 immediately transparent when referencing the Aviation investigation webpage: Reference pg 4 - HERE.
When I first clicked on the AI-2018-010 link I noted that this investigation (within an investigation) had been initiated/updated 11 days before on the 08 February 2018. It was also stated that the expected completion date was August 2018:
Some scant 5 minutes after completing my airport thread post I revisited the investigation webpage link and that was when I discovered that the O&O fairies had done their magic...
Here is what the webpage now reads:
Summary
On 21 February 2017, a building that is part of the Essendon Airport Bulla Road Precinct retail centre was struck by a Beechcraft King Air B200 (VH-ZCR). The ATSB’s preliminary report for this accident was published in March 2017. This preliminary report stated that the approval process for this building would be a matter for further investigation.
The building was part of the Bulla Road Precinct Retail Outlet Centre development, which was proposed by the lessee of Essendon Airport in 2003 and approved by the Federal Government in 2004.
Due to the specialist nature of the approval process and airspace issues attached to the retail centre development, and not to delay the final report into the accident from February 2017, the ATSB has decided to investigate this matter separately.
The investigation will examine the building approval process from an aviation safety perspective, including any airspace issues associated with the development, to determine the transport safety impact of the development on aviation operations at Essendon Airport.
A final report will be released at the conclusion of the investigation. Should a critical safety issue be identified during the course of the investigation, relevant parties will be immediately notified so that appropriate safety action can be taken.

So in the space of 11 days this 'investigation within an investigation' has had it's expected completion date put back by a further 6 months - UDB!
Considering this is the 3rd active high profile investigation (which I am aware of ) that the HVH crew have initiated within the last 12 months - see search 4 IP post #203 & 4 above: ATSB update on Mallard investigation (which again was captured by Hitch ) - one has to wonder is this the new top-cover obfuscation tactic being deployed by Hoody and his O&O minions??
