My money would be on Cyprus. 114 Sqn flew Chipmunk T10s out of RAF Nicosia on internal security duties during the Cyprus emergency 1958/59. Those are olive trees down below and you don't get many of those at Woodvale. Buildings are certainly Eastern Med style but north or south coast? No long shadows to determine orientation but gut feeling is south, probably the Dhekelia end where the terrain is flatter and the sea rougher than up north. And I can see I've been pipped to the post by 10 minutes - thank you Dora 9!
