Geriaviator, glad to hear that your Khormaksar home has managed to survive into 21C Yemen. Does the same hold true for your Alma Mater, or even Abdullah's Sentry Box? Perhaps the very lack of active town planning in a war ravaged country has lent them and the rest of this ex RAF Station (which might as well be set in a Moon Crater given your pic) a chance of survival that many UK ones were denied.
The lack of any vegetation whatsoever is the most striking feature of course. The immediate thought is that the station has been newly constructed and awaits nature's healing powers. I imagine that it still does...
