My mistake.......

Sorry for asking, but couldn't find a definite answer: what is the "deadline" for the winner to post a new challenge? Would it otherwise make sense for Slim S to post a new one, or does it become open house after a while?

Madbob Here. Thanks For The Acknowledgement. I Declare It Open House To Post The Next Teaser.
As A Ps To My Earlier Answer I Could Also Have Mentioned Hookers Point Which Was An Earlier Attempt At Siting An Airfield Close To Stanley. That Site I Think Is Just Out Of Old Fart's Photo.
The Floor Is Yours Gents.

On the taxi ride into Muscat from Seeb (1973 I think) we passed an airfield which was still operational. It appeared to be very much one way in and the same way out. Trouble is I never knew the name could it just be called Muscat.
It is Bait al Falaj - 1960. Taken shortly after they built the concrete parking area. The visiting Twin Pioneer and Pembroke belong to 152 Sqn, Bahrain. The SOAF Single Pioneer, based at Bait al Falaj, was maintained by Airwork.
You have control Jenkins.

I seem to remember Azaiba was situated abot 15 miles northwest of Muscat slightly inland on the flat ground to the west of what became Seeb. I only landed there a couple of times. Bait was on the edge of Muscat town in a small valley.

I believe we were the second aircraft to use Seeb in the week prior to the official opening.
If I remember rightly the first was a Skyvan which was alongside us on the blinding white apron.
Let's say the Dove gave it the baptism of oil
Just checked my LB, it was the 16th Feb 1973. Hunting Surveys Mk8 Dove
G-ARHX. Arrived from Doha
AAAH De Havilland!
Please allow me time to get out of bed in the morning before hurling abuse.
Thank you

"Piece of Cake. Over to you G-CC."It's gone very quiet, I think my rather glib response above to Golf Charlie Charlie did not clearly acknowledge that it was San Sebastian (Fuentarrabia).
If that is so I apologise. Golf Charlie Charlie you have control.
