Bill,

I believe that it may have changed name, although I have found an airfield called El Qutaifiya, which is on the coast road between Mersa Matruh and El Dabu.

It was an active airfield during the African Campaign anf I found a map of it on a Google search, which interestingly enough was in German and dated late 1941!

Its exact location is 105 kms south east of Mersa Matruh and 14 kms west of El Daba. I also found a google entry claiming that Marseille had landed there. I would therfore suggest they are one of the same unless someone else can shed any further light on it.

All the best,

David
