You make a good point, irish guard. It is so important to be meticulous in our research. That is an obvious element to verify.
However....
There are also intimations of some kind of phone/skype/radio comms to the plane in one of the Q drops. Ryan would not necessarily have to have been there. At the time, I seem to recall at least discussions of a drop in which the interpretation was that that was a possibility.
Not quoting a drop number here, because I did all the searching on that crumb that I have time for today, but what I am recalling is a drop with references to that kind of scenario. LL and BC on the plane, but patched in with someone else somehow. But WATCH THE WATER!....I could be all wet.
I remember reading that Hillary! was SKYPED in to that “grandchild” meeting on the plane....maybe this is what will be released very soon.
