Excuse the Intrusion, but note my 'nome de plume' PZU = Port Sudan
Was based at Oil Terminal by Port Sudan 2001-2004 just 5K from PZU airfield the new one built by Osama bin Laden c 1998/99 - 25K south of Port Sudan
Sudan Air Force presence was occaisional and limited to 2/3 Shenyang F6's or F7's parked on apron with a tractor and an APU plus lying on the grade what appeared to be half a dozen 'home made' bombs of approx 500kg
The permanent presence at PZU was a battery of 6/8 twin barrelled 'bofors looking' presumably Chinese 37mm AA cannon in a parade gound battery formation plus at the NE corner of the perimeter a long defunct/scorched wreck of a Mig 19/21 type
Just to the North outside the perimeter there was what a Dutch ex SF type described as the remains of a SA2 battery, further North adjacent the oil refinery & power station was another AA battery in similar condition to that at the airfield
Further North again right on the edge of Port Sudan town lies the old PZU airfield now purely military, throughout my time there this was occupied by a DC7C abandoned in '70's/80's by someone involved in Aid flights plus between 3 & 5 piston Trainers Nanchang C6? - during my time only saw them airborne about 10 times and max 2 at once
But since 2003 Sudan has been exporting in excess of 250000 bbls/day and that buys a lot of kit
PZU - Out of Africa
