Re: Ismailia Airfield
Ismalia was still active with the Egyptian AF in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It was also home to No. 115 Air Transport Unit, RCAF during that time. 115 ATU operated Dakotas, Otters and Caribous in support of UN operations throughout the Middle East, and provided maintenance and transient servicing support to other UN units in the area.
The latest images on Goggle Earth show a couple of helicopters there, probably MILs, plus a gate guardian MiG-17.
