Islamic country? Temporary base for USAF ops in the middle east? I find the unoccupied, and unstained concrete apron with little or no supporting infrastructure quite intriguing. I can easily wait until 1700Z , and beyond, for a response.

May 06th, 1700Z . I can wait. The taxiway radius markers and the size of the reinforced concrete apron would indicate a possible B-1B potential staging and rearming base. Gulf Coast? And I don't mean the Gulf of Mexico. And one should never start a sentence with 'and'. The dark brown spot to the middle right of the access road of the concrete reinforced apron could be a clue. I'm thinking the NGO's came in with a juicy contract, built a reinforced ramp/apron, and then departed back to Poland, err..the U.K...err... the U.S.A..

When he refers to "Stan a WIWOL" I think he may be referring to Stan Hodgkins..
The reference to green in the language is yet another of his typically cryptic and often misleading clues.

Islamic country, but not a staging post. Green remains very relevant in the language of the country. Hodgkins gave me the nickname 'Prof,' perhaps explaining style. I used this strip, as it was, in two different aircraft, and arrived too late in 1970 for a third.

Not unknown, not Saudi Arabia, didn't know Stan had been to the Kingdom. This place featured in a 1950s dust-up in which DH112 aircraft took part. It really is quite high.
