Interesting, found a colour photograph of the hangar at last. RAF Wadi Seidna.

That'll be the Getty image you've found, and yes it is RAF Wadi Seidna

I fairly sure that the barracks are still present - minus some of the structures in front of them in my images - which are looking south

Over to you.

Thanks. I fear my only response has to be Google Earth. Try this; not former Royal Air Force. Have visited several times in my travels.

Somewhere in France...?

JENKINS 23rd Sep 2020 13:52

East-West-ish, with no Roman influence. Not in France, nor was it naval, and even though on my esrly visits I should not have been there I found it very civil. As for the round building, I might have to ask the ......

Are we in the UK?

JENKINS 24th Sep 2020 09:12

Not United Kingdom.

India Four Two 24th Sep 2020 15:17

Stone walls, not in the UK. How about Ireland?

JENKINS 24th Sep 2020 15:41

Railway was mentioned; yes, a line exists. The airfield is advertised as International, and does indeed have scheduled international flights. An assassination nearby, nearly 100 years ago, may have had a profound effect on the course since taken by the country wherein lies the airport.

JENKINS 24th Sep 2020 15:43

We crossed, 42. Indeed that country is indicated.

Haven't a clue 24th Sep 2020 15:58

Kerry. OH if correct.


JENKINS 24th Sep 2020 16:23

Yes, that's it. Farranfore, very small village. Michael Collins, 'The Big Fella,' he who was assassinated, or perhaps ambushed might be appropriate? No politics here! My flights were in the days of busy twin piston air taxi work, always a decent bed and beers at the end.

OH declared.

Kerry
of course!
With it’s Centre of excellence!

Warm yes, Seychelles no - a very long way away
