S2 | E2 — RED FLAGS ON THE HORIZON
A uniform, a hangar, and a promise that sounds almost too ambitious to be true.As Sarah continues to investigate IntSAR – the International Sea Air Rescue Service and its self-described leader Admiral Peter Cowell, two retired detectives share their first-hand encounter — a meeting that left more questions than answers.
From Bathurst to Fiji and Canberra, plans for global rescue fleets and billion-dollar budgets collide with shifting stories and unanswered emails. Were these simply bureaucratic hiccups, or early signs that something wasn’t as it seemed?
Peter Cowell was contacted for comment during the production of this series. At the time of publication, no response has been received.
All accounts and opinions in this series are those of the participants, based on their own experiences. Allegations are always attributed to their sources. The story is told in the public interest to examine how trust, belief, and ambition can intertwine.
