It is Gwadar in Baluchistan - the current airport (illustrated) is about to be replaced by a monster new one further out financed by President Xi - and beautifully located to connect to Afghanistan, Iran, The Gulf States etc etc it is - well done that man!
I'd never realised that Gwadar belonged to Muscat until about '56, '57 when the Old Sultan of Oman (Said) sold it to Pakistan for about $7 million -the money was put up by the Aga Khan apparently - Descol was painfully close!!
Over to dixi!!
