I find it hard to believe that any Panda Tu134 models allegedly destined for the UK, on order since July, are still stuck in some warehouse. Or am I underestimating the scale of the backlog?

Actually, its not really the delay that bugs me, its the doubt that my orders will ever materialise full-stop.
I'm assuming we're talking about the Aeroflot one - I've had mine for well over a month (in the US) - maybe closer to two months. Air Koryo ones haven't shipped yet AFAIK. I don't think this is particularly COVID related. I've gotten stuff from HK, China, Netherlands, Singapore, even *from* the UK, in 1-2 weeks, max 3, all in the last several months. But I've seen posts on the forums for years now regarding difficulty of getting models into the UK.
