If Tempsford is correct, which I believe he is, do you think I might be able to re post my challenge that I posted four minutes prior to 617's ??

Simon,

Yes they did. Although you were slightly ahead so you take precedence with your one.

Anyway - Tempsford found Whenuapai too easy.

Sorry about that. I'll try to be quicker next time.

Poorly served by roads,
No obvious passenger terminal,
No obvious control tower.

Probably a military field.

Small agricultural fields.

Asia?

The terrain and vegetation remind me of South Africa. Any nearer?

Not in Asia.
Once a Military base.
Not on the African Continent.
