SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: PRE-LICENSE END-USE CHECK ON 
APPLICATION 050132445 
 
REF: STATE 121959 
 
1. (U) Summary: Results from Post's conversations with March 
Aviation and the Naval Air Division of the Royal Thai Navy 
indicate that Aeromiltec doctored the purchase order from 
March Aviation.  Post notes that reftel requests a 
pre-license check; however, helmets have already been 
delivered by Aeromiltec to March Aviation.  End Summary. 
 
2. (U) According to the Thai Ministry of Commerce, March 
Aviation Co., Ltd. was listed. 
 
Registration No. 0105538041921 
Registered Date: March 31, 1995 
Status: Limited Partnership 
Capital Registration: 2,000,000 baht 
Executive: Sirinart Anantapong 
Company Location: 19/2 6 Soi Lat Phrao 126 (Kranphon), Lat 
Phrao Rd., Wang Thong Lang Sub-District, Wan Thong Lang 
District, Bangkok 
The company has submitted annual financial reports for 
1999-2007. 
Purpose of Company: To import and sell aviation, armored 
vehicle, and ship equipment. 
 
3. (U) The company was listed in the telephone directory. The 
phone was 02-934-1600 which corresponds with reftel and the 
business registration. 
 
4. (U) POL FSN December 9 visited the March Aviation office 
and met Darunee Wisitchainon, Office Manager, and Wichet 
Phetphrai, General Manager.  Darunee showed POL FSN the 
procurement contract between the Naval Air Division (NAD) of 
the Royal Thai Navy and March Aviation, Ref. 88/Ngor. Por. 
2551, dated July 3, 2008, and March Aviation's purchase order 
to the Aeromiltec Ltd., Ref. AMT-08-097, dated June 19, 2008, 
signed by Sirinart Anantapong. 
 
5. (U) Darunee said March Aviation had not prepared an 
end-user certificate for this transaction because nobody had 
asked for such a certificate.  Darunee stated that she had no 
knowledge of the invoice between Aeromiltec and Bender 
Aircraft, dated 11/10/08.  Darunee said that NAD had wanted 
to buy ten SPH-5 white helicopter helmets of three sizes: 
seven extra large, one regular, and two small.  These helmets 
were to be delivered to NAD by January 29, 2009.  March 
Aviation had ordered from Aeromiltec ten SPH-5 white 
helicopter helmets in different sizes from the purchase 
order, seven large and three regular, because Aeromiltec had 
told March Aviation that the small size was out of stock and 
would no longer be produced. 
 
6. (U) Aeromiltec, contrary to the purchase order with March 
Aviation, had delivered seven extra large and three regular 
SPH-4B olive green helicopter helmets.  Darunee said that 
March Aviation has tried to settle this discrepancy but had 
been unable to succeed.  The items had arrived at March 
Aviation July 17, 2008, and had been kept at the company 
since then.  March Aviation would keep the items until 
Aeromiltec corrected the delivery or NAD agreed to accept the 
items.  POL FSN viewed the helmets, which were being kept in 
a paper box in an unsecured public space on the first floor 
of the office.  POL FSN advised March Aviation to securely 
store the helmets. 
 
7. (U) March Aviation was located in a new, three-story 
building in a busy city area.  Six or seven employees were 
observed at the office.  The facility has CCTV but did not 
have a fire prevention system.  Darunee stated that a guard 
patrolled the premises at night. 
 
8. (U) Darunee and Wichet were surprised that the purchase 
order Aeromiltec submitted to Bender indicated a requirement 
of twenty helmets.  They both denied submitting an order of 
that amount and suspected that Aeromiltec doctored the order. 
 In addition, Aeromiltec had never informed March Aviation 
that they would deliver SPH-4B helmets. 
 
9. (U) Darunee and Wichet said that after the contract was 
awarded by NAD to March Aviation, the company contacted 
Gentex for information on how to order.  Gentex told March 
Aviation to contact Transaero, Inc., the authorized 
distributor for Gentex.  Transaero was located at 35 Melville 
Park Rd., Melville, NY, 11747.  Gary Collins, a sales 
representative at Transaero, had told March Aviation to 
contact Aeromiltec in Switzerland in order to complete the 
transaction.  Darunee and Wichet had no knowledge of Bender 
Aircraft Parts, Inc. 
 
 
10. (U) POL FSN December 9 visited the Naval Air Rework 
office of the Naval Air Division at Utapao Naval Air Base in 
Rayong.  POL FSN met Royal Thai Navy Captain Nirutti Khamsan, 
Deputy Director of the Rework Facilities.  Nirutti confirmed 
the purchase and presented the procurement contract between 
the Naval Air Division and March Aviation, Ref. 88/Ngor. Por. 
2551, dated July 3, 2008.  The purchase contract requested 
seven extra large, one regular, and two small SPH-5 white 
helicopter helmets.  Nirutti said he was surprised that the 
purchase order had changed to twenty sets of helmets. 
Nirutti said that he had worked with March Aviation for 
approximately twenty years and had never had a problem in 
dealing with the company.  He had no knowledge of foreign 
entities involved in the purchase as that was March 
Aviation's line of business.  Nirutti said he did not have 
copies of March Aviation's purchase order no. AMT-08-097 nor 
the invoice between Aeromiltec and Bender Aircraft.  Nirutti 
said NAD had not yet agreed to take the helmets because the 
specifications and color did not match NAD's requirements. If 
NAD accepted the helmets, they would be stored at the Rework 
Facilities' warehouse inside Utapao Naval Air Base.  The base 
is protected by armed guards.
