Thanks, nvubu, always enjoy your challenges.
I guess that what looks like the coastline wrapping around the western threshold isn't the coastline. Sometimes hard to tell with low resolution black & white images.
The reason I am so interested in this one is that I have flown along that coastline many times in the past. Wewak - Vanimo DC3s late 1960s. Generally at low level (very low!) in order to look at the many wartime wrecks that were still visible in the area. However I don't remember any airfields with a threshold so very close to what looks like the the water's edge so you had me searching around Rabaul and some of the islands around there where the Japanese were well established.
