The engines were also salvaged from the Dawsons Field aircraft thanks to some excellent negotiating work by Nikki Bakkar, founder and owner of BOACs agents in Lebanon. Whether they or components were used again I don't know. A full account of what happened politically/diplomatically and on the ground outside and inside the aircraft would be fascinating but I've never seen anything comprehensive.
