Thanks VF; In#4377 there appears to be a clearer `flatter` area behind the tail(100m) as opposed to the hillside,although there appear to be pylons/wires in the distance with possible departure that way or off to the left of the direction the a/c is facing. depending on any wind direction..?

Sort of reminds me of waiting at Tumlingtar for a flight to Katmandu and the first plane heard was the daily Chinese reconn flight and the second was supposed to be ours .... the tents came down in record time but when the door opened two gentlemen stepped out with sub machine guns at the ready .... it was the banks flight and ours was hours later, oh well!
