Fascinating. Has someone gone ahead with the purchase and the announcement without even the money to get it to Australia? What were they thinking?

Surely a Newcastle business can come up with the loot required

Sounds like VH CAT where the volunteer pilots credit card had to be used for fuel to ferry it to Australa- and now it appears to be sitting in the open and corroding at Bankstown - due to not enough money being available to support two operating Cats in Australia . At least New Zealand was astute and decided how many Cats they cold afford and cut their cloth accordingly .
