Angry Dear PB

Please remember that this is an incredibley small world! When any of your aircraft arrive in HKG, suffice it to say that I will be there to personally welcome them in, as well as to retrieve the three months' salary and leave monies that you owe me. I also undertake to recover monies owed to all of my ex-afx colleagues.

I can't wait for us to meet again!

I just found on the web that GINTL is up for sale by the administrators of AFX Capital Ltd. It's being sold by Wyles Hardy and Co and the aeroplane plus lots of ground equipment are being auctioned in August. It will be interesting to discover who the purchaser(s) turn out to be.


Mr Bowles has interests in several companies and seems to delight in moving their assets around between them. This seems to be a very effective means of avoiding his creditors untimely advances!
Any more info on the site at Junction 14 of the M25?

Oh Dear

Air Bangladesh - set up by AFX2 to avoid the CAA basically - they had the Bangladesh CAA over in UK for 10 days last year waiting on N707CK to arrive - which it never did!!

G-INTL - good luck, C check is required and had bee deferred too long as is a gear change - expensive!

If it in the same condition as G-INTL etc, I expect the Bahrain CAA will ground it when it gets there - they're pretty handy at that - one a/c just grounded today because of its appearance... too many people in the world pi**ed off at PB et al for this to work. AFX and its sequels - maybe he'd be better selling his "script" to hollywood - its the sort of place where PB's version of reality will fit right in!!!

Cool 9K-ADA

9K-ADA was the queen of the skys when we flew out of Seattle in June, 1978. The -F engines were the latest and all the options were taken. Money was no problem! The engines were upgraded to -J's a few years later.

Just back from Dubai, couldn't see clearly, but there was a combi that could have been AFX there.
