Some lucky folks from Cargolion are indeed busy (kind of) with a VIP ops out of Libya, but I doubt BP's in it. This Diesel-8 flies only for her owner, I don't think she has the necessary paperwork for charters and things like that.
Considering the current cargo market, and TNT putting up to 5 744F close to OST (and LUX of course), I would be surprised to see a new freight operator in that region. Not impossible though, but quite surprising.
Wait and see !

DC8 is P4 registered and is indeed working on government contracts around western africa. They fly heads of states around. Same company has a few BAC111's doing same stuff in the region.
I know that there are some ex Cargolion hands flying the Diesel 8.

Well "blowawayjet", I'm like you......just hear them floating around.....Nothing new to report except that the tomb stone is one year old. I'm with you know who, doing you know what!! Remember the "Tilapia" Regards
