“It is not possible to make any reasonable speculations about the circumstances around the death of Hammarskjöld if you are not clear about that there was a war situation, and that our enemies all the time endeavoured to kill UN personnel and shoot down our airplanes. Without that realistic background all speculation will be nonsense.”Men jag antar att även den gode översten här har läst för många ”pojkböcker”?
— Överste Jonas Waern, chef över den svenska kontingenten i Kongo, 1961/62

By June 1961 the men of the former 4 Commando were on their way home. They had been unhappy with their new duties and made sure everyone knew about it. The Belgians agreed to void their contracts and release them from service. Brussels seemed glad to get rid of the English-speakers.
Hoare went back to South Africa with his men. The adventure was over. Later he would write The Road to Kalamata about his time in Katanga. It is a vivid and interesting read, but one that leaves out any mention of the Compagnie Internationale or Captain Browne.
191. A book on the mercenary Mike Hoare, published by his son in 2018 and entitled “Mad Mike” Hoare: the Legend, states that: “In his very old age, for what it is worth, Mike told me casually one day that he had later returned to Katanga by road with Phyllis, and on his way there they had stayed at the Rutland Hotel in Ndola, Northern Rhodesia. He could not remember why he was going back, but he could remember the date, 17 September 1961, for it was on that date that Dag Hammarskjöld, the UN Secretary-General, was flying to Ndola to arrange a truce with Tshombe when his DC6-B aeroplane crashed nearby, killing all 16 people on board. Mike, who was by nature suspicious and took nothing at face value, felt that the real cause of the crash had been covered up – and would never come out. He made it clear he personally knew nothing about the crash and had nothing to do with the crash.” This appears to be the first information that claims that Hoare was in Ndola at the time of the crash.
As a further explanation, Alport said that the Albertina appeared to be transmitting messages to some other destination, possibly a USAF Dakota parked on the ground at Ndola, which had a powerful radio on board and was being used for the transmission of messages to Léopoldville, Elisabethville and elsewhere.Räcker det, eller vill du ha mer?

Haverirapporterna har mycket övrigt att önska, men de är ändå det mest tillförlitliga vi har att gå på.Så, jag frågar igen. Hur fan ska du ha det?
Du skrev att du hade noll erfarenhet att backa upp ditt påståendeJag gör inte mitt påstående med referens till några flygkunskaper. Jag gör det med referens till tillgänglig information.
Argumentum ad verecundiam (argument till vördnad) och ipse dixit (han själv sade det), att hävda att något är sant för att det är värt att respektera och vörda eller för att en auktoritet (ofta akademisk) tycker så.
