Well, I've been looking at Google Earth until my eyes hurt and I have to say that it all looks a bit different nowadays.

I am pretty sure that the old strip marked with the arrow at 24 11'25.18N 55 49' 16.73E is what we knew as Buraimi/Daudi in my Argosy days. I remember it as being on darker sand orientated 30/12 and it had soft patches in places.

As best as I can recall, the old TOS fort was to the north of the strip about a mile away.
