- Looking south across the lagoon with
the old runway at left centre.
- Three islands were joined together to
make the runway which was 6,000
- feet long and bearing 060. The dark
blue in the lagoon was where the sand
- was dredged to join the islands
together and made an area for seaplanes to land.
- Again looking south with a better view
of the runway.
- Most of the quarters, mess hall and
NATS hotel were on this island.

Sinnott once called the small islands in the upper right home
