A single unfold leaf 21x27cm printed to both sides. Good, used, with spotting and ink annotations. RAF Habbaniya, established in 1936, was a major air base on the west side of the Euphrates, close to Baghdad. It included the Air HQ for the Iraq Command, communications, maintenance units, an aircraft depot, an RAF hospital, RAF Iraq Levies barracks, the RAF Armoured Car Company depot, fuel and bomb stores, numerous billets, messes and extensive leisure facilities. During 1946-58 GCHQ ran a large Cold War related signals intelligence monitoring station here. The recto features the approach chart showing the environs on a scale of 1:250,000, with elevation section, notes, and approach marked. The verso has a plan of the landing strip and some of the adjacent buildings on a scale of 1:25,000 with notes on lighting, special warnings, and radio facilities.

Shipping terms
SHIPPING: Domestic and international shipping is tracked and insured with UPS. This has unfortunately meant an increase in domestic rates especially, and in most cases I am absorbing some of the increase. (I have moved away from Royal Mail owing to a series of problems).
DELIVERY DEADLINES: If you have a hard deadline for receipt that is before the processing time stated on Abe, eg, if you need it to arrive urgently before you travel or before a particular event, please contact me at the time of order to advise, so options can be discussed and steps taken to ensure it gets there in time.
RETURNS: Please return any items for refund within 30 days of the estimated delivery date, and contact me first with the reason for the return to establish whether postal costs will be included in the refund. If the item is not as described, I will cover the original and return post.
