About This File
FS2004 Scenery--J F Mitchell (TVSB), Bequia, Caribbean. Bequia island is one of the northernmost of the group of islands known as St Vincent and the Grenadines, just south of St Vincent. Bequia is a small curved island, 8 miles long and in general less than a mile wide; as a result the resident population is less than 5000. There are two main towns, Port Elizabeth (the capital, on the bay) and Paget Farm (close to the airport). The airport is built on reclaimed land parallel to the beach along the south coast, just west of Paget Farm; the runway is 3700 feet long. The terminal is new, or appears to be; it may have just been well cared for. There are connecting flights by SVG to Barbados and the other islands and these are reflected in the AI. By Roger Wensley.
