Side view of the hangar, can anyone enlighten whether this aluminium plates are from the RAF era or not?
Captain_salman,

You have done some great archeology. Very much doubt the "plates" are aluminium. Much more likley to be galvanised iron sheet cladding. In the dry atmosphere of Shrjah they will never rust, the sand will just give the surface a fine patina. Not sure that the hangar goes back to Imperial A/W days, others may know differently.

Are the surfaces of the car parks the original surfaces of the airfield hard standings?
