Which Aerodrome Mk II

[Old Bald Pilot]

Dave,
You must know HX worked from Doha in January '73.
However this was 1975 and a different Continent.

[Old Bald Pilot]

Sorry Brakedwell. Not Tarif, different continent.

[Double Hydco]

Khartoum?

DH

[Old Bald Pilot]

Right Country DH.

[Captain Airclues]

Kigali, Sudan?

Dave

[Old Bald Pilot]

The Sudan is correct. I don't know a Kigali in the Sudan only Rwanda. Anyway from there go downstream on the Blue Nile a few hundred miles.

[Captain Airclues]

Wadi Halfa (have I gone too far downstream?)?

Dave

[Mr_Grubby]

Juba ??? Maybe.

C.

[Old Bald Pilot]

Yes, too far Dave. But you must have gone under this bridge.

.

The town was on the West Bank and you had to cross the bridge to get to the Airfield. The bridge is still there but I see from Google earth there is now a new one.

[Old Bald Pilot]

Juba, another dreadfull place but keep going North.

[Captain Airclues]

Kosti HSKI?

Dave

[Old Bald Pilot]

Well done Dave, Kosti it is. We were very surprised to find other Brits there flying Cessna Agwagons, spraying the cotton fields. Their company was Mindacre, from Topcroft Norfolk. I suspect they no longer exist. They certainly had to rough it down there.

[Captain Airclues]

Dave

[one11]

Not Southampton.....although i guess both boats started/ended their flights there............Doug

[Flap40]

[Old Bald Pilot]

Not Foynes or New York --- turn the other way when leaving Southampton.
