Heard a slightly odorous little snippet of a rumour this morning which perhaps illustrates how we, we being the public, are being taken for fools by the citizens of Bubbletown Canberra.

So it goes someone requested perusal of the government archives for information regarding Bankstown airport.
They were advised all records for aviation before seven years ago were destroyed, allegedly to make room for newer one's.

WTF???? do not the archives contain an awful lot of history?

If this is true, then a lot of history has been flushed down the paper shredder. What about CAsA records? Has everything before seven years ago also been flushed, or only anything incriminating?

I pondered that when I changed over to the back to the future part 61 licence having to provide "Evidence" for past qualification to be included on the licence, which they still didn't get right. One would have thought a simple perusal of ones CAsA file should have done that, so maybe they have flushed the old records.

All passing strange....or given the past indiscretions maybe not.
