Anyone been to Honiara recently?

In October 2001, Antonov An-12 freighter ER-ADT was written off in a landing accident at HIR. Has anyone sighted it recently or has it been broken up?

Last time I was there was about 6 months ago, I know the airframe your talking about and it was no where to be seen. I remember them pulling the engines and few other bits and pieces out of it then it disappeared.

Not an easy thing to hide so clearly it has gone to God.

Havent been there lately, but a number of years ago it was just off the runway and I believe the firies were using it for practice.

Don't think so,
White river is like a boxing ring these days.
Good luck to the new chief pilot
