1. (U) Embassy contacted Major Karin Sonier of Flotte
Transport Ecoles, Simmad Base Aerienne 217, the end
user (Tel: +33-1-69-23-86-40;
fte.simmad@inet.air.defense.gouv.fr). She confirmed
that the Portugese firm OGMA Industria Aeronautica is
the base's sole supplier of C-130 parts and
accessories. The intermediary consignees (AD-S and
Co. and KDS Cargo BV) are simply logistics providers,
she said. In the absence of contract or order
references, she said she could not confirm the
arrival of any consignments of C-130 parts and
accessories. However, she would be happy to do so if
needed, provided the USG furnishes the relevant
references.
