MPN11, all these MQs were semis designated W or E ours being 167W. I've just found that Google satellite has been updated and shows more detail. Our former MQs are still standing although the road layouts have been altered and walls built around each pair of houses, maybe they have been knocked into one. The three airmens' blocks pictured above are still standing although the east half of block 1 has been demolished or collapsed. The Officers' Mess has become part of the University of Aden. Much of the camp as I remember it and the hangars have survived too. Quite amazing after 66 years!

Our swimming pool south of the civil terminal a mile across the peninsula to the east has disappeared but the wonderful beach (provided you didn't mind sharing with shark, barracuda, sting rays etc) now forms the Park Layali run by Dubai Tourism. If you're looking for somewhere different this winter ...
