Just a quick update on the attempted smuggling operation opf the P38 at Arufi. This is not to be confused with the two P38s recently shipped out of Melbourne.
An individual identifying himself as John Barber is responsible for removing the wings and tailbooms/group from the P38 and somehow getting it to Lae ready for shipment to USA.
Recipient of the container was to be Evergreen Museum.
I have seen the documentation held by the PNG Museum. Truly bizare thing is that they applied for an export permit after being caught trying to smuggle.
More on this as the matter develops.
