The next morning we had to fight our way back through the departure system at Djibouti and were only just ready when the VIP party arrived. We left on schedule for the one hour trip to that (to me at least) unknown place Hargeisa .We were due for a stop of around four hours. As we taxied in it was obvious that the place had seem some action. Bits of SAM 2s littered the airfield and there was a general air of desolation and much destruction. The tower , ops buildings and the like were still there but with pock marked walls and all with broken windows.
Waiting for us was a guard of honour so we shut down and the VIP party disembarked and were whisked away for a 'wash and brush up' before formal talks. This visit was apparently the main reason for the whole trip.
The MIG 15 you can see was used in the civil war until someone one dark night cut the throats of the two plots ! As it was reputed still to have rounds in the guns and the ejector seat was still armed we did not get too close !
