HONG KONG, Nov. 26.
A West German businessman plans to leave for Peking on Sunday to try to sell U.S. war surplus transport aircraft to China.
The businessman, Mr Hans Joachim Seidenschnur, told reporters he was acting on behalf of four Swiss firms. The planes did not carry weapons but could be converted. Mr Seidenschnur said.
Sales prospects were bright. The plane priced were cheap and he could supply spare parts. He has 170 aircraft in Europe which he plans to sell to China, Indonesia and Pakistan.
Negotiations with Pakistan were under way and he signed a 3,600,000 dollar contract with Indonesia last week, Mr Seidenschnur said. The contract covered the sale of 28 8265, 23 T2Bs and 96 reserve engines.
Mr Seidenschnur said he had been to China previously to sell lorries, speed boats, electronic equipment and geological detectors.
