I'm writing this from Calcutta (Kolkata) where we arrived last night, after a 4 hour flight from Yangon.   We had intended to land, refuel and overnight at Chittagong in Bangladesh (on Sunday night), but we heard during Saturday that the Bangladesh authorities had denied our request for permission or at least insisted on a delay.  Given that this application had started the previous Tuesday this was surprising to say the least.  We succeeded in getting confirmation of avgas in Calcutta so decided to go there instead.  The only other option would have been to go back to Chiang Mai in Thailand, a very expensive stop.

Arriving in Calcutta after a 4 hour flight, it took 3 hours to get through immigration and customs.

I haven't time now to fill in the details!

The next flight is planned today to Ahmedabad in western India.  That is, if the promised fuel turns up this morning .....
