Ex-RAF Mauripur (or whatever they call it now).
It was PAF Base Mauripur as recently as 1963, 214 used it as a base for Valiant Tankers when we were doing the non-stop flights to Singapore and Sydney. We also staged through with Javelins.

I even did a week there in December 63 with 73 Sqdn from Akrotiri. I was attached from the Electronics Centre for a CENTO exercise, I looked like a real Mooney, but it turned out I was the only guy on the detachment who had been there before.

But it is now named PAF Base Masroor, dunno when that happened.
