Nicosia International Airport

This time not a serie photographs of my hand, but made by my brother (www.prorama.nl).

The Nicosia International Airport was build in the 1930's.
First in use as a miliyary airport, later it was mainly in use for civilian aircrafts.

As a result of the turkish invasion in 1974 Cyprus was split up in a turkish part (37%) and the remaining Cyprus part.

The airport is abandoned since July 15 1974, and lies exactly in the UN-buffer, which seperates the 2 areas from each other.

Also check the 360 pano's:

That is excellent stuff!

Ooo like caught in a time warp Nice report

Bloody hell, it looks EXACTLY the same as it did when I was there in 1970!!!!!

Apart from the bird shit, obviously.

At onr time there were 4 Tridents stuck there. 2 were flown out after a few years & some negotiations, but the other 2 were too badly damaged by gunfire to be salvaged.

Excellent stuff! Thanks for sharing.

wow, looks awesome.

Thats pretty cool!
