"2-year-old Cundall claims he was pressured into abandoning his claim to the 67-year-old fighters by Brooks, a British version of Donald Trump who presented him with a "memorandum of understanding" that took control of his overseas activities, the Vancouver Sun said."

Gad-damned tories and their big business brown nosing...

They were literally up for grabs, the Government was only involved because of the embargo on Burma.

Once Cundall's claims were proven true, Brooks stepped in and asked Cameron to sort that out for them, so that he could do whatever he wanted with the Spits. A couple of bribes here and there, and the Burmese government is happy for whoever wants to recover the Spits to proceed.
Cundall should have kept it quiet and asked for more funds, in this way he lost all the investment he made and is left with nothing. It's disgusting, but unfortunately there's nothing he can do about it.

As I said, the warbirds entourage is not all roses...
