00:01Perhaps I had better tell you a little of the true story,
00:04which will be told in a little while for all the world to know.
00:07You see, they said I shot a man and killed him.
00:11Bill Lancaster was a first-class flyer.
00:15He wants to be the first person to fly from England to Australia.
00:20On April the 13th, his plane vanished.
00:23I want you to understand a little of the thoughts and actions of old Bill
00:30during the five years that have passed since you waved goodbye
00:33to a small aeroplane on the aerodrome at Croydon.
00:36My mother told us we had a murderer in the family.
00:39How could I make a documentary about Bill without delving into the murder trial?
00:43We weren't at the trial, so why go over it?
00:45That's dragging up old coals.
00:48This was not a trial about gunshot, gun angles, skulls.
00:53This was about a love story.
00:56William Lancaster and Chubby Miller were international figures.
01:00They were celebrities.
01:02Well, it was very nice coming over today.
01:04There was just one problem.
01:06Didn't she get involved with another bloke?
01:08I mean, they were living in a ménage à trois.
01:11Oh, my God. If the walls could talk.
01:13I knew that Hayden Clarke would never marry Chubby.
01:16They said he just wanted to get rid of Hayden Clarke.
01:19Nothing titillates the public more than a love triangle gone bad.
01:23It's got romance mixed up.
01:25It's got sex.
01:26It's got adventure.
01:28Wow, what a story.
01:30Did you or did you not kill Hayden Clarke?
01:33I did not.
01:35You need to be aware that you're treading on very sensitive grounds, as far as I'm concerned.
01:40If your dad was possibly a murderer, it would really upset you, wouldn't it?
01:44Why wouldn't you just go like this?
01:46I have heard like a weird breathing.
01:48Did Bill Lancaster kill Hayden Clarke?
01:50He deserved to die.
01:51Bill did it.
01:52What?
01:53My father did it?
01:54Yeah.
01:55Nonsense.
01:56No, he wouldn't.
01:57He didn't do it.
02:01I'm still listening for noise of an engine.
02:03It would sound like music to me now.
