Thanks for the link, but we've found just about everything there is on the web. Most of the pictures on that site are showing life around the airfield, and not the airfield it's self. I was hoping someone here had some books maybe which had pictures of the airfield buildings. I have no idea what they should look like. Some have suggested that they were standard RAF buildings built in Iraq. I personally think, they might have been a bit more non standard, but until I see some pictures, I'll never know.
Thanks for posting those pics, but as I said before I was hoping for some new pics. These are the pics I meant, they show life around the base and not the important stuff, hangers ect, which is what I'm looking for.
The base map shows the arrangement of the structures on the site, but not what they looked like, as this is what I need, so I can consturct 3D models of them.
Hey hey, that is where I landed in 1991 when I arrived in Iraq. Didn't look like that though .
There were clear signs of the Allied bombing of the area, most of the hangars was hit, and I saw several MIG-29 destroyed. Several of those were dummys though, made out of wood.
The photos on the site date from the US use of the airfield in 1945 but might be of some help.
Although not a picture of either the bases you requested the following site has a useful picture of Helwan RAF base circa 1938-39 which should give an indicative picture of a Middle-Eastern Raf Base.
