I agree that the coordinates currently in the article are unlikely to correspond to the precise location of the airstrip; but I can find no sources that support the coordinates you've suggested above, and they certainly don't correspond to any feature visible in online maps' aerial views. What is your source for the coordinates? Deor (talk) 20:09, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and changed the coords to those suggested by the OP. If anyone has access to a source that establishes the exact location of the airfield, please feel free to emend them or post the information here. Deor (talk) 00:06, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
