DC-3 Kyilla[edit]

On 6 February 2012, User:Msmonksilver edited the section Notable accidents to add new information defensive of the Captain of the Kyilla, Harold Shelton. See the diff. Msmonksilver added the text enclosed in single square brackets in the following paragraph:

29 December 1948, VH-UZJ Kyilla crash-landed near Mangalore, Victoria after the pilot misjudged his altitude [this was proven to be incorrect when appealed by the pilot in court, the altimeter had failed and due to being night and poor weather conditions the pilot was relying on instruments to fly - the two altimeters in the aircraft read 500 feet and 450 feet when the pilot checked at the time of the crash] while landing and touched the ground at high speed. No serious injuries, but aircraft damaged beyond repair. [Please refer to pilot's own memoirs which can be found through http://www.trove.nla.gov.au and many newspaper articles that verify that Captain Harold Shelton won his appeal against A.N.A.]

I have searched www.trove.nla.gov.au and found numerous relevant articles from newspapers of the day. None of these articles supported Msmonksilver’s statement that Harold Shelton won his appeal. In fact, what I found was that all relevant articles confirmed that Shelton lost his appeal against suspension of his pilot licence for a period of 9 months. See the following examples:

"Suspension Of Pilot" The Sydney Morning Herald - 5 May 1949, p.5
"Air Pilot Loses Appeal" Canberra Times - 5 May 1949, p.1
"Appeal By Pilot Dismissed" The West Australian - 5 May 1949, p.6
"Pilots Appeal On Crash Penalty Fails" The Argus - 5 May 1949, p.6

Consequently, I have removed the text added by Msmonksilver. Dolphin (t) 08:06, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
