  1. The time line is useful in highlighting discrepancies that arose at the Hutton inquiry but going back even earlier reveals further quandary.

    The time for instance when Operation Mason began (at the time Dr Kelly said he was going for a walk, not when he actually went. And the police response time to a missing person report. The speed at which helicopter and radio masts went up. And when was the Chief Constable informed?

    You’re right Brian the time line of this event elucidates the facts and demolishes the fiction. So much performed by so many to achieve so little whilst convincing so few.

  2. Brian,

    Have you ever considered creating a timeline for events at Southmoor, starting on 17th July 2003?

    Perhaps even integrating it with this one.

    Even with estimated time(s) for the radio masts, it might highlight the bizarreness of a 110 feet high radio mast being used in the first hours of a missing person inquiry.
