An interesting interview.

One little bit jumped out and hit me fair and square in the face..........

Rite near the end, at 22 minutes 13 seconds, Foley says:

"We're doing a bunch of enhanced grid modelling, we're doing ah additional work with marine growth on the ah-um on that flaperon in particular, it was, it is important, it was the first arriver in La Reunion."

The drift modelling within CSIRO (and other places) is ongoing, as we know. Nothing new.

But this bit piqued my interest:
"we're doing ah additional work with marine growth on the ah-um on that flaperon in particular".

Perhaps the French are assisting the ATSB (covertly, with a hint or two, or three, perhaps, behind the scenes), or did he "mis-speak", and the "denials" and "corrections" will come "thick and fast" in an hour or two ?

It will be interesting to see if Ben Sandilands picks up on that, and if he does, what he may (or may not) say about it.

P2, I agree, we need to replay this many times. We need a full transcript. Can you find one ?
