Subject:<\/b> Airport Lands Restoration<\/b><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n
An<\/em>tigua Government is at last making plans to implement the final plea in 2017 of the late PM Sir Lester Bryant Bird, to restore the airport lands sold to R. Allen Stanford in March 2003.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The strategic aviation peninsular built and operated by the US Air Station, in both aviation and marine military services, until their periodic withdrawal and final decommissioning in 2015, is also historic. <\/span><\/div>\n
Being the first place on earth where data from Space hit earth, bouncing off to Patrick Air force Base in Florida<\/span>.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Under the absolute authority of Stanford, Runway 10 became the location of of two businesses, one a land owner and the other on an un-executed \u2019promise of a lease\u2019 fighting for its existence. <\/span><\/div>\n
One went to jail in the US, his airport property paid to the other for various damages endured.<\/span><\/div>\n

\nThe Government is now showing maturity in restoring the airport\u2019s footprint to that which is designated in the Civil Aviation Act, and, as was recommended by Sir Lester, whose letter is attached.<\/span><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

\nWill this action close the file on R .Allen Stanford?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
