Now this is a RUMOR network so don't hang me if I'm a little off target here...
As I recall, this was the same Frelon that was parked outside Foster Aero at FALA for as long as I can remember. As I recall, when chatting to the previous owner of the chopper, part of the reason the thing couldn't be restored to airworthyness was that some of the log books were missing from the time it flew for the tin-pot dictator up in deepest darkest.
That raises the question, did Mr Vd Merwe come across those books in a box in Mobuto's attic or did he get them the same way he got some of the Huey's logbooks and other documents?
Food for thought...
