Dr Boff - have a look on Google for RAF Coltishal. Loads of photos there including one of the graveyard.

Being computer illiterate, I wasn't able to attach the photo, but have included the accompanying text from it. I'm sure with a bit of digging you'll find out much more detail.

Someone is currently writing some history on the base, so in due course I think it will all be on the website.

A little further down this road you'll see a brick building on the left. This is a graveyard (M) which I think is worthy of a bit of your time. The gates are closed but not locked, so in you go and walk past the brick building, and pay your respects to the young men of many nations who fought and died and enabled us to hang around this RAF station watching aircraft as a hobby. The large cross marks the end of the well-kept war graves and the beginning of peacetime RAF graves.
