It seems the left engine problem is still unresolved (L. carby AMC change may have fixed it?) but there is no urgency due to the unavailability of avgas.
Two major refineries that supply avgas to the region are out of action and as a consequence the Indonesian government has quarantined all avgas in Indonesia for its military until supplies are back to normal.
It is believed the crew has returned home.
PS There is a good chance the DC4 drivers will begin endorsing themeselves for their ferry at end of this month.

Shell May Shut Singapore Hydrocracker For Maintenance
SINGAPORE -(Dow Jones)- Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSB.LN) may take a hydrocracker with a daily capacity of 34,000 barrels at its Singapore refining complex offline in mid-September for a two-month maintenance, traders said Thursday. A Shell spokesman declined to comment. However, an earlier company publication said the company planned to carry out upgrades and modification work at its hydrocracking unit in Singapore this year, without specifying an exact timing. A hydrocracker generally processes fuel oil into lighter products, such as middle distillates and gasoline feedstocks. -By Max Lin, Dow Jones Newswires; 65-6415-4063;
