We used in the early 90's on the, Caledonian (not Bcal) DC10, to have a week standover in Grenada.

I remember visiting a small airfield, much like the one in your challenge, on which was "parked" an AN2 which had arrived some years (possibly more than 10) earlier with some Cuban? troops.

I believe Castro was attempting to support a revolution in Grenada but that it fizzled out with the arrival of the Americans shortly after.

Your challenge reminded me of that day and crawling around the AN2 which was in surprisingly good condition.

I wonder if it is the same airfield?
