Asking for old ICAO code Posted by Flight_lead on April 8, 2020

What was the old ICAO code for Jiyanklis Air Base before HEGS when USAF was operating it?

Gianaclis Posted by on October 24, 2018

My father HC Tregoning(1927-2013) was based at Gianaclis with 27th Squadron SAAF in 1944-1945 flying Vickers Waricks so this is a very old base ❓

My dad (1921-2006) served most of WW2 at Gianaclis airbase in Egypt, installing and maintaining radar in the planes.

Isn't this a former RAF station from WW2? Posted by on May 10, 2014

Whilst the Americans may claim this as a wonderous overnight creation of theirs, generously funded by the US taxpayer without the slightest hint of ulterior motive, I reckon that Jiyanklis Air Base is actually the site of LG226, part of the former RAF Gianaclis and thus over 70 years old.
