sd,

Yes, Aboukir.

My grandfather, who was ex-RNAS, lived and worked there for "Bricks and Works" and my mother was born there.

Their bungalow was somewhere in the foreground area and my mother told me they used to walk across the airfield to get to the beach on Aboukir Bay at the top right.

I also found the same photo you posted, Terrence, but it doesn't seem to overlap my picture. This implies there was more than one airfield there.

You have control.
Simon
