I can tell Richard Weston was fighting more for Tasic and the disappointment on his face at the end of the trial seeing the other 5 be let off while Tasic went back to jail must have been hard to fight for his freedom but managed to do so 2 years later

Excellent archive film, especially of the aircrew in their positions. Almost entirely RAAF Lincolns. My father was an RAF 83 Squadron Lincoln rear gunner, based at RAF Hemswell, Lincs, but detached to RAF Tengah for six months at the end of 1953. Whilst there he flew 20 operations against the Communist Terrorists (CTs). It wasn't only bombing and strafing strikes; his log book reveals that on October 27, 1953, his aeroplane ferried leaflets from Tengah to RAF Butterworth to be used in Operation "Bison". As far as I am aware that was an effort to persuade CT cells to give themselves up with promises of a bounty a new ID and a new life. I hold two of those leaflets. It proved to be a successful initiative - as was the entire campaign which led to Singapore being the successful state it is today.
Certainly an unusual and amusing video. Don't think Ron Barassi had so much trouble when he hosted football segments on children's television in the 1960s.
It’s crazy & sad to see how quickly the decline Fitzroy went through from winning the night premiership in 1959 & losing the preliminary final to Collingwood by 5 points in 1960 to winning 1 game in 1963 against eventual premiers Geelong, winless in 1964 a VFL/ AFL record, 2 wins in 1965 finishing 2nd last by percentage & 1 win in 1966 the last season playing at the Brunswick Street Oval & 30 years later it’s merger with Brisbane
People an plane parts rained down in the village were my uncle and aunt lived. They always told me the stories what they saw... Horrifying. Seats fell into neighbors yard with people still sitting in them.. They went into the forest nearby, where most of the parts fell. They went in and saw people torn apart hanging in the trees... A neighbor has a seat in his backyard even today, where he sits and relaxes... Morbid
A gem of TAA yes getting old now T-Jet look on B727 and DC9 was great and timetables T-Jet rocket non-stop flights. Yes Coral Islander DC9 and Central Australian B727 were done at the time none others were done Tasmanian and Gold Coaster never evolved. A great contribution. Ansett 727.
Bill Stalker was quality. His Peter Fanelli character had an incredible relationship (complete with ad-lib bonuses) with John McTernan's Tom Shannon character. Beautiful relationship, improvised quality.
As you would know, Geelong has been a notoriously bad finals performer throughout their history. Essendon and Geelong have both played in 132 finals, but the Cats have obviously won 6 less flags.
What a Lawyer!! These men with their wisdom and clear minds are deeply missed in our time. I do however, not believe that the corruption and greed has decreased in the same manner as the lack of wise human beings.Thank you for this upload, really appreciated.
Because it was a BBC Panorama production it was alway going to be in English, but they've been careful to faithfully dramatise the event as factually as possible
At the time this air disaster occurred, I didn't know that I would eventually become a citizen of Slovenia by descent, which was where the Yugoslav airline Inex-Adria Aviopromet (later renamed Adria Airways, now defunct) was based. This disaster was very tragic; and air traffic controller Tasić was also a victim. Moreover, what happened on that fateful day is every air traffic controllers worst nightmare. The ATC system failed. The acting in this video was excellent. One thing was unclear to me: I would assume that the court proceedings were conducted in Serbo-Croatian or were they actually conducted in English?
Hehe ... and there was long periods of dry weather too. The only difference now and since the 80's is we have charlatan's claiming the planet only has five years left.
My neighbour (3 doors down from us)was on the British plane. His name was Cedric,a tall handsome man. He had a small little boy and his wife was pregnant with their second child. He was a sailor and they called him a week before time to join his ship. It was a very sad day indeed when this happened and ever since I have been TERRIFIED of flying. RIP dear neighbour. 🙏
