I saw this post also on the Key forum. As I said there, it's a great museum. I used to live not far away and it was a regular haunt for me.

It is on the site of the former RAF Sharjah, the first airfield in the region. The old control tower and the old fort, the passenger "terminal" for the HP42s, are still there. The main runway was where the main street runs past nearby.

There is also a long thread on RAF Sharjah at RAF Sharjah

Don't be fooled by the fake identities of several of the aircraft. I wrote up my take on them at:
