Yes we did, Luanda, Nova Lisboa (now Huambo) Silva Porto, Henrique Carvallo, Dundo, Benguela. The other DC3 G-AVPW was hit by rebel ground fire. First Officer Fred Taylor (Later Chief Pilot Brymon) wounded. But I digress it's not in Angola.
Here's another Clue below, what we found in the only hangar there, anybody remember Mike Scarrot on the right, our DC3 Captain?

Aha! You got the Spanish connection but unfortunately it's not Ceuta or Melilla. Here's another clue below. It could be any tropical beach but happened to be just behind the terminal.

Correct KM. Photos taken in July 1970 shortly after the Spanish left.
What they could'nt take with them they destroyed including the hospitals equipment. Rio Muni stayed relatively quiet for many years with only a few attempted coups including the Mark Thatcher fiasco in 2004. Rio Muni has great tourism potential but unfortunately is a little too unstable to develop that way.
See http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/18/wo...inea.html?_r=1
Happy days!
Over to you KeMac.

I have posted two photos to make up for the lack of clues. Hope this is not against the rules.
