Daugo

Papua New Guinea / National Capital District / Port Moresby /

Daugo (also commonly called Fishermans Island) is a popular picnic and swimming spot on weekends. Accessible by boat. The World War II airfield was still used as an emergency airfield right up to late 1980's.
DCA built a VOR (an aircraft navigational aid) there in 1971. It had hundreds of balanced modulators. Photo shows T Shimmin at door entrance.
