The information above is incorrect and untrue; this aircraft had no engine problems at the first stop in Brazzavill. Two Zambian Diplomats from the Zambian Embassy in Kinshasa were at hand at May Maya international Airport in Brazzaville who interacted with the crew and the passengers and talked to all the crew members. Non of these Zambian diplomats reported of any engine problems on this aircraf. This is part of the report of one of them; “i later had an exclusive discussion with the late Colonel MHONE, Lt.cOL. MUBANGA and other members of the crew ....... I demanded to know if they had any problem whatsoever with regard to the flight, to which they answered that they had non. The plane was in good condition and all was well....” The other Diplomat said “ During all this period(the plane was at Brazzaville)at no time did i hear any member of the crew mentioning or uttering anything to do with the state, defect or repairs carried out to the plane. There was no mention of any difficulties whatsoever which they may have encountered during the flight from Lusaka. In fact all the members of the crew seemed to be very composed confident and eager to continue the trip. During the time I stood there i observed no repairs carried out to the plane, everything went on orderly. The players boarded the plane followed by the officials and lastly the crew members after wishing them well and victory in Dakar and promised to see them on their way back, the crew started the engines and later taxied to the far end of the Eastern part of Maya Maya. The plane came running and took off smoothly for Librevill, Gabon” THERE WAS NO ENGINE PROBLEMS IN BRAZZAVILLE, AS ALLEGED BY The World Aviation Safety Network released report. The World Aviation Safety Network Report is a total fabrication and a lie to the rest of the World. See the International Commission of Inquiry into the Gabon Disaster page 59.
This information above is not true I personally flew this aircraft before its departure for Senegal. The aircraft was in very serviceable condition. The carbon particles mentioned here were far below the allowable minimums allowable by the engine manufacturers. The Zambia Air force Engineers had cleared this issue and the engines of this aircraft were very serviceable for the long haul to Senegal. The aircraft manufacturers de Havilland of Canada even passed the servicing records of the Zambia Air Force Engineers as “very current” and the aircraft as “in excellent condition.” See the SEAL Laboratories Analysis Reports from Canada which the World Aviation Safety Network deliberately ignored.
The Gabonese Report released is full of inaccuracies and fabrications. The truth has been hidden. whoever wants to know the truth in this matter should access the SEAL Laboratory Analysis Reports on the Zambian Buffalo aircraft parts which were sent to Canada and the USA which clearly show that Gabon destroyed the Zambian plane and killed innocent Zambians in cold blood.
This list of victims is incomplete because it does not include the Football Association of Zambia Chairman Mr Michael Mwape, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Sports and the Senior Sports Reporter.
