LFH - Thanks for that.
I originally had a few doubts as to whether it was at Sharjah as I couldn't match it to any of the photos on the thread, but I had no reason to doubt the source documents.
It was queried by people who had been there as being too big, the CT not in the right place. But I guess when it is the only thing in the photo with nothng else to compare it with it does look huge, but in the photo above the CT is in a different place and you can relate it's size.
I've also found some other sites which back up my conclusion that it is Sharjah - they are on this thread

I have to agree with you re the old source material - it's fantastic. Loads more where they came from
- what's more, from all over the globe.
