Old Akro, your post is factual except for one thing, AvPlan have continued to claim they were never formally approached by Air Ventures for Sponsorship and in doing so make it out like they were shut out without being given the opportunity to participate.
OzRunways and now the SAAAs version sounds like they were given the opportunity and declined and then AvPlan decided to make themselves out to be the victims of some sort of backstabbing, this is the part that gets me agitated and is the part that has caused all the problems essentially.
