¶3. Reason for request: Unusual routing to Malaysia via 
foreign consignee, Avocet Aviation, in the United Kingdom. 
 
¶4. ACTION: Embassy is requested to make inquiries with 
appropriate host government officials to determine if the

on the license.  Can the RMAF elaborate on Avocet's role in 
this transaction?  Are any local Malaysian firms also 
involved in this export? END ACTION.
