Douala (FKKD/DLA) 2011 MIL

Seen today were DHC-5Ds: TJX-BN and TJX-BS. Both aircraft appeared to be in storage and looked 'reasonable'. Two more Buffalos escaped identification.
According to at least one source TJX-BS is supposed to have been w/o in 2003. Doesn't really look like it.

On the far side of the field 2 Do-28s could also be seen.

There are two Do-128-6 stored on Douala; TJX-BP and TJX-BR. The TJX-BN is correct.
In 2004 the wreck of DHC-4 TJ-AHH was noted, which is the former TJX-AS.
There is also some mentioning of the wreck of the TJX-AT but this airplane has not been seen since '75!!!

The Cameroun Air Force only has 5 DHC-5 Buffalo's;
TJX-BM, TJX-BN, TJX-BR, TJX-BS, TJX-BT.
The first one is not noted since 1982. The others in 2007!

Hope this helps a little!

Best regards,

Arjan
