			Hi Wolf / ST
Experiments with buttered toast tied to the back of cats notwithstanding, the sayings of Sherlock Holmes (wonder what he would have made of the RFI?) apply very well to the RFI, i.e. Don't theorise before all the evidence has been obtained, then once the impossible has been eliminated whatever remains, now matter how improbable, must be the truth. The problem with the RFI is the lack of hard evidence. There is the Halt memo and tape of course plus the statement that the incident was 'of no defence signifigance' and a couple of contradictory witness statements but that is about it. Because of the lack of evidence and reliable testimony, nothing can be eliminated. Anything could have happened. Therefore the RFI will never be solved.
