Thanks to all who have already responded. So several of you remember the strip at Masafi. Thanks especially to Herod for the pictures. I add one of mine I took last Wednesday (9 February 2011). I think the mountains in the background clinch it.
Anyone care to guess when it was built and when last used? The trees that have grown on the runway are about 15-20 years old I would guess. But you could still get a Twin Pin down easily, and even an Andover.
I shall try to work out where the helicopter pad was in relation to my recent survey.
