Pete old mate, your comment, a Tad racist?
Not to worry, what's the old saying? "never give a sucker an even break"?.

The poor Indians bought a pup.

Not because there was something wrong with the product, an incredible amount of Australian ingenuity, engineering excellence, and just "plane" passion went into producing a very saleable product, despite the best attempts of our supposed regulator to destroy it.

Regulatory fatigue defeated any chance of it being viable and remaining in Australian hands.
The Indians knew a good thing when they saw it, it was a very good thing. What they didn't see was a bureaucracy even more corrupt and incompetent than in their own country.

Pennies dropped now, "Oh!! corruption exists in Australia, we didn't realize, sorry, we'll be off now" and once again aviation business departs Australia.
