Been for that run you suggested, tRAKKA. Back now.

Sorry about all the detail.

Its just that if one is trying to give a different perspective upon the recorded facts of history, one is beholden to quote the references and understand the symbolisms that may act as pointers to otherwise previously untellable possible truths.

I haven't expressly mentioned it in this thread, but Prime Minister Menzies spent quite a considerable amount of time in 1941 in Britain. I understand his wife warned him that if he went, the knives would be out behind his back whilst he was away, and that he had little hope of remaining in government if he continued on that course. There is no record of Menzies ever having replied to this most trustworthy source of warning, either at the time, or subsequently. He continued on that course.

It is also interesting how little publicity subsequent to the finding of the wreck of HMAS Sydney there has been, especially with respect to the torpedo damage sustained, the likely size of the warhead used, and the physical evidence as to from which side the torpedo(s) struck and direction from which it/they could have come.
