Since our member "quebec" cannot post pictures at the moment because she's a new member, I am posting two screen shots from Google Earth on her behalf showing about the place she said was once used for RAF housing. One shot is overview of the area (yellow marked is where the current RAF museum and the hangar with other remains exist) and the (red marked area is the place used as RAF housing)
next shot is a close up shot of that housing, it does appear to be rather British among the new Arabic villas in the surroundings of Al Ghubaiba.
Can anyone remember this place?
