Tornadoken:
I have to take issue - at the expense of a slight thread drift - with your assertion that UK Aero whoever they are or were was lethargic in seeking out buyers in the boondocks. As one who was employed to sell British aircraft around the world, I can assure you that this was not the case. 748s to Madagascar, The Marshall Islands, Guyana, The Azores. 146s to The Faroe Islands, Uzbekistan, Bhutan. 125s to Russia and Turkmenistan. These were just the successful ones - there were many which came to nought after months of trying. There are many on this forum who, with due respect, could not find half these places on a map. There was nowhere we feared to tread - I even went to Cuba a couple of times - but many places where we wished we hadn't. I have just written a book on this very subject!
