EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of The Shopping Centre at RAF Fayid (LG-211), a former military airfield located in Egypt's eastern desert, circa 1920s. The British Royal Air Force (RAF) established the airfield approximately 14 miles south of Ismailia and 72 miles northeast of Cairo. The image showcases a lively scene of open-air shops, where soldiers and local Egyptians exchange goods and services. The Shopping Centre served as a vital hub for the British military community, providing essential supplies and necessities. The airfield, with its distinctive red-roofed buildings and aircraft parked nearby, can be seen in the background. The desert landscape and palm trees surrounding the centre add to the unique character of this thriving commercial center in the heart of the British military presence in Egypt during the 1920s.
