"interesting people" called Templewood Aviation
This is the story I was told:
When Mugabe started to get stroppy he impounded Templewoods 707s that were operating on a lease for (Air Rhodesia?) Air Zimbabwe and claimed them as fair restitution for all the "extortion and abuse" of Zimbabwe by Britain. The aircraft were repainted and re registered and continued to fly for Air Zim.
Sounds a bit 'tall' but was a Templewood man that told me!
