Looks a bit narrow for a taxiway; are you sure it's not just an access road as the hangars seem to be cut off from it.

chevvron,

I think the photo was taken from this location:

1°11'1.41"S 136° 5'56.93"E

By the way, does anyone have any idea what the derelict aircraft is?

In view of the thread drift, a reminder that it is OPEN HOUSE.

someone mention Canberras!!
 

Just a suggestion but the derelict aircraft's wing planform resembles a Liberator.

Americans were here!
 

I don't remember the Liberator,this about 1961 and we lived in tents!

chevvron,

I've just looked at the oldest available image on GE (4 May 2002), where the derelict still has a tail.

From the shadows, it is a tail-dragger and the dimensions (~80' x ~40') plus the constant-chord high aspect-ratio wing, make me think it is a Twin Pioneer.

Fair enough. I thought it was bigger but obviously not!

its not RAF now!
 

Near a desert !

So would that be the Libyan Desert? Idris?

Idris
 

Otherwise known as Castel Benito,well done India four two ,you have it!

oldpax,


Thanks. I happened to be reading the "Queen of Tarhuna" Canberra thread and made what turned out to be an inspired guess!

Open House.

Whirlind where?

From an old slide

Jebel Tarik?

Not to be confused with the other Pillar of Hercules ;)

The airfield is still used but not by the RAF!

Definitely looks like RAF North Front to me; pic taken from an upper floor in the Officers Mess looking towards the airfield; those masts in the background belong to the Navy; Rock just out of pic (cropped?) at the right.

GIB OH gsa

Wrong !
 

Accomodation blocks to old for North front!The runway of this place is beyond the masts .North of the equator and east of suez!!

Not Gibraltar!
 

It is near to Africa though!

oldpax we posted simultaneously so I've deleted my post so just a wild guess, Muharraq?
