Quote:GD – “I like young Mitchell Bingemann, a good young IOS member in the making. Plus he looks like a young Dick Smith, now I really like him!”
I’d say well done ‘The Australian’. Since the departure of the obsequious Creedy, the quality of reporting matters aeronautical has greatly improved, to the point where I can look forward to reading the paper again, without cringing or vowing never to buy the thing again. ‘Iggins and now Bingemann along with the bright spark in Tas (??) are actually openly acknowledging and discussing some of the problems created by the government departments. Publicly funded self styled ‘safety’ agencies which not only have the potential to be causal to the event of a serious accident, but will go to extraordinary lengths to minimise the chances of the public finding out ‘why’ their loved ones perished.
Mind you it’s about time; the MSM constantly trivialise, sensationalise or ignore aviation related stories, to the point where there is only one line worth reading; that there was an incident when, and where, after that ‘reports’ become farcical. Bravo ‘the Oz’.
