Hi wow thanks for the fast reply and i completely understand what you are saying not worth risking upsetting the Nigerian police or airport authorities have a friend who works for Arik air and have heard the stories!!! all though he is not based at Benin unfortunately . I was rather hoping being a regional airport and not being quite so busy it may have been possible. i am a member of the restoration team at Bournemouth aircraft museum .on the south coast of the uk . where we are restoring one of the same BAC 1-11 Aircraft that are there , so i will try and get you a letter or i may contact the airport direct , however i do know that they are not particularly happy about the aircraft still being there so may be a no go . again many many thanks for your fast reply . i will get back to you soon and maybe we can get something sorted .. all the best PhillThanks,
Those aircrafts are still there (what's left of it) but because it is an active airport, the DJI digital fence is working their very well (as to should). So I can't fly there with a drone.
I have tried to photograph abandoned planes in Lagos and that was not allowed. I think the same applies for Benin Airport.
So, if you can give me some sort of letter from the airline that convince them it is for documentary purposes, I'm fine to do that for you. But I'm not risking Nigerian jail for a picture
