At approximatcly 0315 hours (M), the AOC called Test Sorvices
operations and informed Major Meaghocr that one of the Pewter Aircraft had
violated radio security, According to the AOC, certain information went
out over "C" channel when the speaker thought he was on interphone. Each
Powter crew was questioned upon landing and cach Aircraft Commander disavows any knowledge of the incident. The AQC also stated that the Pewter
fircraft were the only aircraft on "C" channel at the time. However,
Lt. J. Burnctt, pilot cf Powter III states that a Viking Aircraft was
on "C" channel, while the Powter Aircraft were on thet channel, It there-
fore appears possible that it was the Viking Aircraft which made the breach
of sccurity, ond not necessarily the Pewter Aircraft,
