He said the procedure involved a considerable effort, including a preliminary investigation by the nearest RAAF base.

This was followed up by an investigating team from the Air Office.

Where necessary the investigating team sought the advice of specialist agencies such as universities, CSIRO, the Defence Standards Laboratories and the Weapons Research Establishment.”
