Gamal Abdel Nasser Airbase (Arabic: قاعدة جمال عبد الناصر الجوية, romanized: Qāʿida Ǧamāl ʿAbd an-Nāṣir Ǧawwiyya) is a Libyan Air Force (Arabic: القوات الجوية الليبية, romanized: al-Quwwāt al-Ǧawwiyya al-Lībiyya, Berber: Adwas Alibyan Ujnna) base, located about 16 km south of Tobruk. It is believed to once have had about 60 or 70 Mirage F.1EDs aircraft assigned.
Prior to 31 March 1970, the airfield was known as Royal Air Force Station El Adem (Arabic: العدم, romanized: al-ʿAdam after the nearby settlement al Adm), and used by the RAF primarily as a staging post.[1] Before World War II, it had been an Italian Air Force airfield. A number of the former Italian buildings were seen remaining in 2003, during a courtesy visit by former RAF personnel, at which time no military aircraft were evident.
Royal Air Force Station El Adem was the fuel stop for the BOAC aircraft carrying the new Queen Elizabeth II on her flight from Entebbe to London on 7 February 1952.[citation needed] In 1994, the remaining wreckage of Lady Be Good, a US Army Air Force (USAAF) B-24 Liberator heavy bomber that crashed-landed deep in the Libyan desert during WWII in 1943, was brought to the air base by a local Libyan team led by Dr. Fadel Ali Mohammed (tasked with recovering the plane wreck) for storage and safekeeping. The remnants of the aircraft still remain there.
