When Insein was occupied by the KNDO, they were confronted by: (1) hastily trained students from Myoma High School, the University of Rangoon, Faculty of Medicine; (2) Communist and PVO troops; (3) Burmese navy, Burmese Air Force with Oxford Trainers and fire extinguisher bombs. The Chin troops commanded by Brig Blake arrived a few days later and started the offensive against the KNDO. The Burmese Navy also shelled Insein from the Hlaing River. When the Burma Rifles arrived, the offensive was well on its way.

Not quite sure what to do with my weekends down here now.

Have a word with James (Pagen01) he is about half an hour from you and might be able to put your skills to use.

Looking at my notes, it seems the spare Sioux that left for Aeroventure was XT236 and not G-ASOL. I always assumed one of these birds, either 148 or 236 was ASOL but it doesn’t seem to be the case. I never recalled ever seeing a third airframe so can only wonder… I will ask a few questions tomorrow!

Maybe all of the confusion stems from what arrived from the IHM.

There are reprts that G-ASOL was at the IHM. At some stage I imagine that there was the thought that what arrived at NEAM was G-ASOL and not XT148.

I will have to check to see which one we picked up from Middle Wallop

The Bell 47 has been discussed before

http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?t=95392

The first remains certainly came from Middle Wallop as they were acquired on one of my many trips, with the then NEAM treasurer, to empty the Gazelle scrap bin

I am not aware of the arrival from the IHM as this must have been after my time along with any disposal to Aeroventure

The original remains were brought from Middle Wallop where they came from the dump and are definitely Sioux. They were gifted to the museum by the Commandant at the time whilst we were acquiring various other bits.

During my time at NEAM there was never a civil Bell 47

I think that what ever the wishes of the respective ATC units that the decision will rest with MOD Disposals as these airframes are generally only loaned to the ATC unit and are parented by an RAF Unit.

I can think of a number of ex-ATC airframes that had to be sent through the disposal route even when the desire was for them to be preserved.
