It isn't in the Sudan.

Few more images, which may give you some guidance.

These were shipped here

And became these

But they also dealt with this:

Frustration is setting in. The only US forces I have found in Africa during WW2 were those in Torch and the subsequent push Eastwards.

Remember, the base was run by civilians, not US forces.

You said no to Takoradi but was it on the Takoradi route ?

If so, it went through Nigeria and French Equatorial Africa.

Not Lagos. Khartoum is closer than Nigeria.

Not in French Equatorial Africa either.

This airfield had a hospital

Also quite a few warehouses.

But was Chad a hopeful ?

If not then it's not on the Takoradi route.

As you say - it isn't on the Takoradi Route.

You'll get there in the end, not too many more countries to go :)

Look closer at a couple of the images I've posted:

#9824 The tangled metal in the foreground. Can the aircraft be identified from it? (I can't, but one of you may do so)

#9838 The Hudson on the transporter

Ah ha - crossed with Jenkins.
Not in Sudan.
The Hudson has a clue to the country in its history.

Yes - you are in the correct country now.

That's taken me to Italian Eritrea !!!!!

edit: too late for the country.

Gura ?

Well done dook - Gura
Well done Jenkins - and the Douglas Aircraft Company - not very military looking

and the secret base - Project 19. If you go onto GE, you can still see the outline shown below. And you can work out approximately where the Indian soldier was standing.

Having flown there for five years you've now made me feel ill.

Not there though.
