Thanks exaviator, damn south east trades over the coconut trees.
Here's a photo of FAE at Nausori in 1972, this a/c subsequently written off in Tasmania after striking several fences during an unsuccessful go around.
Getting back to FAY, I flew this a/c Tarawa-Nauru-Tarawa on 6/3/72 after the HS748 broke down in Tarawa. 6hrs 15m, no autopilot of course, Barry Rankin poked the sextant out the roof and did a few sun shots, accuracy unrecorded in my logbook.
