009 RAF Misarah.

Well, the name is revealed at last. It is a mis-spelt version of RAF Masirah, a remote base off the coast of Oman.
There is a slim tome describing the actual operation and history of the narrow gauge railway used mainly for transferring fuel and provisions from supply ships.
One amusing snippet is the method of transferring the 45 gallon barrels of fuel. The local islanders merely threw them overboard and let them float to shore.
