FD2, you are not too far away, this particular port is where you would arrive on the ferry from Cyprus, I know that PN drove home from Akrotiri so he would have passed through here.

You've gone too far east and overshot.

It ain't Gan, 'cos both ends of the runway are in the sea there.

But the coral white sand is similar, so are we elsewhere in the Maldives?

Maybe the Seychelles?

Lakshadweep Archipelago, Indian Ocean. Looks idyllic and not open to tourists - good on them!

I think FD2 is correct. Aggati Airport in those islands seems to look very like Ex-a's pic.

FD2 is correct and O/H declared. It was just a petrol stop for us. The locals found out who was on board and gave him a life sized baby elephant. Try getting one of those on board an Andover. British Embassy problem.
