Wing Commander Don Lynam
Don Lynam is a former Royal Australian Air Force Wing Commander, and his service to the RAAF earned him a prestigious appointment to the Order of Australia for his services to the RAAF with the Logistics Branch Headquarters Support Command.
In his deposition, Lynam appears humble about his achievements, so what can be gleaned about them comes from a combination of the few details incidentally revealed as a part of that deposition, and close read between the lines.
Lynam joined the Royal Australian Air Force in January 1957 as a trainee and worked his way up to the rank of wing commander—the seventh-highest rank in the RAAF—in the engineer branch. Wing Commander is the rank equivalent of Lieutenant Colonel in the British and US Armies, as well as the U.S. Air Force and the Marine Corps. His time in the RAAF encompassed work in Australia and abroad, including providing maintenance support for aircraft squadrons in Singapore, Penang in Malaysia and Ubon in Thailand throughout the Vietnam war, and spent time States-side as an exchange officer in the United States Air Force.
The work for which he would become recognized began after returning from his tour of exchange in the United States. Lynam became the head of a group for the development of management systems, where he oversaw the creation of several important systems for use across the RAAF.
Lynam’s relationship with Dr Wright is a key feature of the sworn deposition.
“I was given the impression that he held me up as a little bit of a role model for his life; he admired me. That was very flattering, but for no particular reason that I knew, he just held me up as a little but of an image to emulate, but he’s a lot smarter than I am.”
Reading through Lynam’s deposition, Lynam does not strike one as a mere shill for Wright’s claim to the Nakamoto name. He even remarks that the early, pre-release draft of the white paper he alleges to have seen was ‘poorly written’ and in need of revision—though he admits the technical subject matter of the paper was beyond him. According to him:
“If I didn’t think that absolutely honest answers would be of assistance to Craig, I probably would have said that I don’t want to depose… I agreed to do it because I have so much faith in Craig and my knowledge of what happened through that time that I have high confidence that Craig has behaved correctly and my understanding of it is correct and I can answer all the questions with absolute honesty.”
