The application for leave to appeal out of time is dismissed because the applicant failed to provide a satisfactory explanation for the nearly two year delay; additionally the proposed grounds were not substantial as the sentence (starting point 18 years, +1 year for international element, reduced by one third for plea to 13 years) was within permissible discretion and not manifestly excessive; post-sentence participation in an anti-drug campaign is a matter generally for the executive, not for the Court of Appeal to reward.
