I've not got any pictures of Jebel Ali North from the air, only numerous pictures of the activities of the Dubai Model Club, which dont give any indication of the previous use of the area.

The whole area is salty sand, the runways had been oiled and rolled smooth. They were configured in a large cross.

The runways could accomodate types like the Hawker Hunter.

Close by near Jebel Ali, there was a disused British shooting/bombing range that was used by aircraft from Sharjah.
