The Wadi Halfa Airport has a single unpaved "compacted sand" 2000m runway. Given the Viscount's English origins, I would guess it would have operated off turf runways.. Just a guess.

Here are links to the crash of a Central African Airways Viscount scheduled flight from Wadi Halfa to Libya on 9th August, 1958.
