We do get some shakes here but they are from quakes in the Banda Sea about 700km to the North which get felt quite strongly around here. Of more concern, but little mention of it happens, is that the fault line that produced the Indonesian tsunami sweeps down around between us and Timor and there have been fears that eventually there could be similar quakes much closer to here. I assume that the hanger you mention in on the old airstrip still shown on the Google Earth view. It looks quite funny with a road roundabout in the middle of it. Although it's way out of date I gather that there is an alternative airport these days. PhilD
