Anyone been to Honiara recently?

In October 2001, Antonov An-12 freighter ER-ADT was written off in a landing accident at HIR. Has anyone sighted it recently or has it been broken up?

I remember it gracing the apron of the old terminals where DHL are ...... but that was obviously pre 2001 :ooh:

Last time I was there was about 6 months ago, I know the airframe your talking about and it was no where to be seen. I remember them pulling the engines and few other bits and pieces out of it then it disappeared.

Low cost housing in the village? Built in skylights and windows...probably a flushing toilet too...

It wasn't there last week - or when I was living in Honiara 07/08 and 03/04.

Not an easy thing to hide so clearly it has gone to God.

Thanks to everyone who responded.

Havent been there lately, but a number of years ago it was just off the runway and I believe the firies were using it for practice.

Fris B.,

The last I saw of the AN-12 was in someones back yard at White River towards the end of 2002 .....all choped up and packed into a couple of containers for recycling.......

Don't think so,
White river is like a boxing ring these days.
Good luck to the new chief pilot:hmm:
