- A BBC investigation last year found nearly 90 Epstein-linked flights and three British women in records, while former prime minister Gordon Brown urged six police forces to probe RAF Northolt's March 18, 2013 flight.
- Record-Retention rules show that the RAF retains passenger manifests for only three months, while commercial manifests are kept six to seven years and US Department of Justice files are incomplete, Wettone said.
