Sumaini

Thanks for that info!
I mentioned Sumaini on another thread

It is at 24 39 10N, 55 53 40E and is also visible on Google Earth, where you can even make out the white runway markers and the name “SUMAINI” in white. The striking thing is that it is absolutely clean, with no debris of any sort, not even marks from spilled oil or any sign of having been used. I have heard from a former Oman Air Force pilot (who was also ex 8 Sqd Venoms at Sharjah) that he landed a Beaver there in 1975.
