As I understand it OPO came very close to being a base last Summer but then there were some political shennanigans. The way it was put to me the local government were all for it , but the central government (perhaps mindful of the possible effect on TAP ) scuppered it, & apparently their cooperation was paramount to the deal going through.
Don't know how / if that can be resolved.
"Very full brown paper bag" anyone ?
