I'll put up a short post about it.Andrew Watthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829322263100808179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713282434144514700.post-32993669740619049742010-11-06T22:10:07.565+00:002010-11-06T22:10:07.565+00:00PS

I should add a rider to the first comment, which shows how one must take Hutton statements with a pinch of salt.<br />Norman Baker says that Mrs Kelly's time for the helicopter search at 1.pm was wildly inaccurate and that ACC Page's description that it came from RAF Benson was likewise probably erroneous. Relevant exchange with Mr Page from Sept 3rd ,<br />page 20<br />Q: So who had been responsible for calling out the police helicopter?<br />A. Sergeant Morris.<br />Q. Where is that helicopter based? We have heard it came from RAF Benson, is that right? A. That is correct, that is where it is based.<br />Q. How many police officers were involved in the search?<br />A. At that particular time half a dozen.<br />LORD HUTTON: Just so that it is clear, I think what you said, Mr Page, this was a police helicopter<br /> A. It was a police helicopter, my Lord, yes."<br /><br /><br />The Government statement in reply to Mr Baker hinted that the Benson helicopter had not been used, whereas that from Bedfordshire Police in Luton WAS actually employed from 2.50 onwards in two waves.felixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363991252776819712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713282434144514700.post-27189129175326845632010-11-06T16:43:19.665+00:002010-11-06T16:43:19.665+00:00;+)};+)}felixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363991252776819712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713282434144514700.post-37928613296894009572010-11-06T13:02:14.031+00:002010-11-06T13:02:14.031+00:00Felix,

The helicopter must also been scrambled very soon after the 23.40 phone call for a <i>medium risk missing person</i> for it to start searching by 1.felixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363991252776819712noreply@blogger.com
