When I was there back in 1990 to mid 92 the place was certainly falling apart but most things still worked...sort of!

And despite the requirement to always be aware of your personal security (with some it was supplied by Messrs Smith and Wesson) and trying to have eyes in the back of your head the country was a fun place to be, the flying was exciting, challenging and sometimes dangerous. However I still enjoyed my time there and would'nt have missed it for the world!

Unfortunately, the tone of the last few posts above have given me the impression that the country has now changed so much for the worse that it is no longer a place that one would want to be.


I guess that without doubt we all knew it would happen one day; it's just that we hoped it would not!
