Goodspark,
Heard he was shopping for finance in the UAE to try upgrade, but then it was for a 767. Dont know when last you saw him but he aint well, dont think there's any colateral left in him for anybody to advance him such funds. Allegedly also owes huge debts in UAE. But he is a resourceful fella. You must also realise (and we all know who we are talking about) that some nefarious types are looking for fronts through which to buy aircraft - its not impossible he's being used for this. Look up some on thread "New cargo outfit starting up out Cyprus to see some more".
Saw there is one of his machines standing in Ndjamena (Chad). Doubt very much if they can fly anymore.
This exactly my argument about these flights "of convenience?" now for MoD. Wonder if anybody has done any homwork to determine real owners and sponsors of the aircraft. I am pretty sure not - and on the other hand bitterly dissapointed.
It shouldnt be left there. I expected more!
