In September 1994, Rabaul airport was covered in thick volcanic ash from the eruption of Tavurvur, a volcano near the end of the runway. Several aircraft were buried. As a result, the airport was abandoned and Tokua became Rabaul's airport. Lloyd Caughey photo This photo was added on 20 August 2025, and has since been viewed 45 times. |
