As Takili became an RAF Station in 1940, I imagine Nissen Huts would be quite a luxury. Ask Danny!

I see your link mentions 249 Squadron, whose Wiki link has them flying in with Hurricanes (courtesy of the Royal Navy) and doing much good work with them as well as with Spitfires later. They included one Buzz Beurling, who did excellent work it is rumoured! :-
