My #8:
"May be wrong, and I hope I am, but no (AFAIK) mention on BBC of India lending a hand".
Glad to hear that I
am wrong; but BBC1 News still (up to 2200A tonight) doesn't consider it worth a mention (par for the course, I suppose). But my thanks to
ion berkley and
Robert Cooper ("Can't always trust the BBC"), who put me straight on this !
As regards the airfield making a quick buck out of the rescue landing fees, it is reminiscent of Churchill's retort to the Egyptian Government, who "tried it on" in the N. African campaign:
"I do not intend to pay for admission to the battlefield !"
"It seems that these tremors are not unusual, but full blown earthquakes rare, at this end of the Himalayas". (My Post #2684 in "Gaining a Pilot's Brevet in WWII" Thread).
I must open my big mouth ! 
Danny.
