Emirau Island airport was built as two adjoining airstrips - Northern Cape for bombers, which is the one in the photo, and Inshore for fighters. The two were connected by a taxiway. The airfields now are considered to be one airport and in use. Satellite photos show Northern Cape's runway is less neglected than Inshore.
