One of the magazines published, a few years ago, a photo of derelict A26s. Were they the Biafran ones? Anyone remember where they were?

I remember some photos in Flypast years ago of a couple of derelict A-26 in Angola. I believe Leif Hellström (co-author of Foreign Invaders) was the guy who had sourced the photos. Can’t remember the actual location, but have a hunch it was in the Luanda area.

P.S. Edit: Got in touch with the gentleman who shot the photo in Flypast. Ex Royal Marine aviator who has pinpointed the location for me. When checking Google Earth the area appears to have been cleaned up since the 90s. Hence no more A-26s!
