Is or was it part of the British Empire/Commonwealth?
Thanks Bear - I think it's Islas Fernando de Noronha Airport
Gov. Carlos Wilson Airport (IATA: FEN, ICAO: SBFN) is the airport serving the island of Fernando de Noronha, Brazil. It is the easternmost airport of Brazil and the only one that is located in the Brazilianoceanic islands. The first runway was built in 1934. In 1942, during World War II, the runway was extended and a passenger terminal was built by the United States Army Air Forces Air Transport Command under the Airport Development Program. It provided technical support for the Natal-Dakar air route, which provided a transoceanic link between Brazil and French West Africa for cargo, transiting aircraft and personnel.
The airport was transferred to the jurisdiction of the United States Navy on 5 September 1944.[3] After the end of the war, the administration of the airport was transferred back to the Brazilian Government.

Not Tabitauea (North or South) . Neither is or has been, to my knowledge, an international airport.
I'm off to bed and will be back on line in 9 hours.

This doesn't make any sense.
