I was stationed at Marpi Point during the war and was wondering if the air strip is still there. I would like to see some pictures from this area

No, the air strip is not there anymore. I sent you a message with some links to some Marpi photos.

A rough road exists leading to the former airstrip. It is not used anymore but recently they used the area to conduct a cremation for Japanese soldiers who died during the war. Here's a link: http://jpgmag.com/stories/18149
