RFS radio operator changed log following deadly plane crash

Summary by Ground News

Kevin Harder was communicating with large air tankers from the Cooma Fire Control Centre on January 23, 2020 in the hours before one crashed. His initial log suggests he did tell one of the pilots, Shawn Duggan, who was flying a 737 near Adaminaby, that there were no other aircraft flying in the area. But there was nothing in the log that suggested the pilot on board the C-130 which crashed, was given this information either.
