Where Is It

Can anyone out there help me with the lat and long for Mukerias (various spellings) in the yemen, formerly part of the South Arabian Federation in the '60s. It was the highest RAF airfield in the world at 7400' ASL. I have been trying to locate it on Google earth with no success.

Thanks if you can.

Try 13.94192N 045.67249E this appears to be the town.

If the airfield was to the east it appears to be at 13 56 10.0N 045 39 18.6E and 7069 feet.
