SHAH ALAM; Third CN To Bandung . The third RMAF CN-235 transporter has arrived in Bandung to be converted into an MSA on March 22. RMAF only announced the delivery of the aircraft – M44-01 – at Bandung on April 3. Tail number 01 was previously used as a VIP aircraft and was fitted as such though it was not as luxurious as the other aircraft used for that purpose.

Correct me if I’m wrong, this is SLEP and conversion at the same time, correct?

Yes
So they did take the VIP plane for conversion as I predicted. Wait, I thought the VIP plane was the sole -100 unit we got? Wasn't it the transporters were -220s and the VIP -100?

I am not sure of the mark
When will the first two be ready?

The first one should be ready by before end of the year
The pair of CNs were acquired and paid for by the PM’s Department; configured to serve as VIP transports.
Of the 6 CNs acquired by the RMAF to serve as tactical transports; 1 was often used to ferry high ranking officials. As such it was fitted with certain things but could if required be used for other taskings. Even with the Charlies; a VIP seating module can be fitted if required.
The difference with the pair of
VIP configured CNs (a sole example remaining( is that they are/were fitted with fixed/permanent seating and other things for their VIP tasking.
Ah I see, cuz what was mentioned by others previously: "Also why do you need to convert the single remaining -110 VIP (the other 6 are -220 with improved structural modifications) aircraft? If not mistaken those -110 VIP aircrafts are not newbuilds." (My mistake with -100, should be -110).
The nose does not look like the VIP version we have.

I could be wrong of course
