Indian transfer of British BN-2 Islander maritime patrol aircraft to Burmese Navy? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Former Navy Chief Arun Prakash's visit to Rangoon in January 2009 , saw proposal to transfer of three old Indian Navy Islander aircraft to the Burmese Navy. Is this complete? I remember that it was said that UK said that it would have to look very carefully at the spares supplies for the aircrafts. Navy had protested the to British warning and said that it is going ahead with the aircraft transfer at friendship prices.

All matters are now sorted out?

No idea. It seems that the 30 year old Islander deal did not have a clause governing third-party sale or transfer. India has already transfered them to Seychelles and possibly Vietnamese navy.

Its interesting. Wikipedia lists two Britten-Norman BN-2 (Defender) Islander as part of Mayanmar Air Forces. its supplied by India and also lists ALh Dhruv.
