Was in Conakry in 1971 or 1972. They had the snow ploughs and BIG bulldozers gifted from the Soviets still on the quay. Guess the snow ploughs were a mistake. Stokely Carmichael and Miriam Makeba were there 'living in exile'.

Also I remember there was a strange procedure when getting the pilot at the anchorage. I'm sure some EDs or Palm Line guys will know - or it could be my aged brain playing tricks.
Strange to think of Conakry being a major port.
