Well thats another mystery solved then. I wonder if somebody cleverer than me nows how to use google global earth thing to get a pic of the airfield at Sao tome. Or if there are any portugese guys out there that have been down that way recently its been about 10 yrs since I was there. I do remember there being Portugese Air Force Casa there and they said they had ongoing detachment there all the time. I think there was also an AN2 a DC3 and an F27 all slowly falling apart. Thanks to those that have responded to my curiosity. Cheers Jo!
