Yes, getting close, a contemporary needed. Shall I ginger you up, or go shopping for an hour?

Miller, Great Massingham, Princess Margaret, and so on.

So could it be Mungalalu Truscott Air Base, Western Australia

Yes it could. 'Bluey' Truscott, ginger of course. Difficult to appreciate how open was that coast in WW2.

All yours.

My thanks to sidthesexist for the pointer, and my neighbour's son who has been working out of there recently.

So here's another challenge - could be interesting (possibly). Apart from saying definitely East of Aden, no more verbal clues!

RAF Masirah?

Or Salalah.

Neither - further East

If it's WG533 it might have been Changi, but that's too green.

Diego Garcia...?

It could be WG533 - I didn't record aircraft letters with serial numbers - but not Changi, although it was on the Squadron at the time. Not DG either

Gan perhaps?

Not Gan. Away now for a few hours, but if no correct answers another photo to muddy the waters on return.

204 Squadron ?

205 on fuselage, and nose code letter seems correct.

Typo old chap.

I wonder if this was on your trip to the USA, I believe there was one. Awful lot of muddy water to investigate.

Somewhere in Vietnam...

The structures behind the Shack look to be of US design. So, a wild guess; Clark AFB?

He said it is east of the Arabian peninsula bases.

I would say the USA is west, unless you like going the long way round.

Majunga ?
