Not openly admitted, but destination said to be Dijon, so Christophe Jaquard might be a good suggestion!Wolverine wrote:It also says that the POF's Spit Mk. XIX PS890 has been sold to France. WHO BOUGHT IT??

This has been going on for some years.
There have been quite a number of site visits by two different parties on what appears to be a yearly license basis.
The site is actually Yangon ( formerly Rangoon) International Airport.
Ever a difficult country to work in/with, I think you can assume 'gold' has yet to be struck.
