The small white building surrounded by trees to the south of the road matches, together with the roof of the large hangar and "H" shaped buildings.
Terrence, I wondered how you could possibly think the hangar roofs were similar, but then I hadn't noticed the hangar (factory?) in the bottom right corner of my photo!

The two photos were presumably taken on the same sortie. As LFH said, a monster military base and it's hard to believe it is all gone.

Well, nearly all gone A close inspection of the Flickr photo and Google Earth shows a warehouse on the north side of the road that is still standing, near what appears to be a canal in the 1920s, but is now a dry wadi.





Russell,
Thank you for your comments. It is clear that PPRuNe is making a significant contribution to the preservation of history that otherwise would be lost. This and other threads provide me with a lot of fun and interest (and of course waste a huge amount of time!)

As sabredog said, it is still Open House.
