Today is the 30th anniversary one of Australia's most mysterious missing persons cases. (sorry about the off-topic)

Pilot Frederick Valentich left Moorabbin airport for King Island. He radioed that he passed Cape Otway at 7:00pm. Six minutes later he radioed Flight Service Unit operator Steve Robey and the conversation they had made international headlines.

Valentich and his plane were never seen again.

A single search of the word "Valentich" in an internet search engine will tell you many versions of the story and the conspiracy theorists theorys of the incident.

I have provided here some documents that detail aspects of the story. All but the summary report as far as I'm aware have never been published on the net or on paper, so fingers crossed that the men in black suits will not knock on my door tonight :).

RIP Valentich.
