The Lady Be Good was an American B-24D Liberator of the United States Army Air Forces, serial number 41-24301, during World War II. Based at Benina Airfield in Soluch (today Suluq), Libya, it crashed in April 1943 returning from a mission and was later discovered hundreds of miles into the Sahara with its crew mysteriously missing.
Following an April 4, 1943 bombing raid on Naples, Italy, conducted by the 376th Bomb Group, the Lady Be Good of the 514th Bomb Squadron failed to return to base. After attempts to locate the plane in Libya, its nine crewmen were classified as MIA, and presumed dead, believed to have perished after crashing in the Mediterranean.
In August 1994, the remains of the craft were recovered by a team led by Dr. Fadel Ali Mohammed and taken to a military base in Tobruk for safekeeping.

This is the last collecting pond where the pipe (in light blue on the map) splits just to the west into the northern (to Benghazi) and western (to Tripoli) segments of this massive engineering project.
Ancient water is drawn from acquifers in the south (you can follow the pipe) and gravity fed down to this holding pond.
There was enough concrete used in this project to make a road 12 feet wide to the moon.

Libyan SA-5 / S-200 missile site
kjfitz (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: kjfitz.
The S-200 SA-5 GAMMON is a medium to high -altitude surface-to-air missile system. The single-stage missile has four jettisonable, wraparound solid propellant boosters, each of which is is 4.9 m long and 0.48 m in diameter with a single fin spanning 0.35 m from the booster body. The missile is 10.72 m long overall with a wing span of 2.85 m. The main body is 0.85 m in diameter and has a solid fuel dual thrust sustainer rocket motor.
Each missile battalion has one 320 km range P-35M BARLOCK-B E/F-band target search and acquisition radar with an integral D-band IFF system, one 270 km range SQUARE PAIR H-band missile guidance radar, and six trainable semi-fixed single rail launchers.
The missile's minimum range of 60 km is due to the booster burn time and jettison requirements, limiting the system to engagements against relatively large unmaneuverable targets at ranges up to 250 km. Guidance beyond the 60 km booster jettison point is by course correction command signals from the SQUARE PAIR radar with the S-200's own active radar terminal homing seeker head activated near the projected intercept point for final guidance.
The large HE warhead is detonated either by a command signal or the onboard proximity fusing system. When fitted with a nuclear warhead only the command detonation option is used.

Bir Hakeim is a remote oasis in the Libyan desert, and the former site of a Turkish fort. From May 26 to June 11, 1942, the First Free French Division of General Marie Pierre Koenig defended the site against the Italian and German Afrika Korps of General Erwin Rommel. Resisting for 16 days, the Free French gave the retreating British Eighth Army enough time to reorganize, allowing them to subsequently defeat the Afrika Korps at the First Battle of El Alamein.

Al Jufra Air Base
Al Jufra Air Base (FAA LID: HL69) is a Libyan Air Force base located near Al Jufra.

Okba Ben Nafi Air Base (Methega)
Originaly the American Wheelus AFB it was renamed Okba Ben Nafi Air Base [aka Uqba bin Nafi Airfield], and went into Soviet use, an irony of the Cold War. It became a Libyan air force installation and contained the service's headquarters and a large share of its major training facilities. Both MiG fighters and Tu-22 bombers were located there. On 15 April 1986, it was bombed by the U.S. as one of the targets of Operation Eldorado Canyon (Is that debris from the attack along the south western edge of the base?)
This base was recently re-activated as a domestic airport and re-named Methega.

Tajoura Nuclear Research Centre
The Tajoura Nuclear Research Centre was established by the secretariat of Atomic Energy of Great Socialists peoples Libyan Arab Jamahirya SPLAJ in 1983 to solve problems of economic significance to the country via peaceful application of atomic energy. The aim of establishing the center was to create a modern and well-equipped establishment and the necessary qualified and well-trained personnel to obtain a "Centre of excellence" for carrying out fundamental and applied research, advanced study and training in the field of nuclear science and engineering.
Basic research tools consist of a 10 MW research reactor, a critical facility, a neutron generator complex, and a TM-4 “ Tokomak” with the necessary process, control and measuring equipment and instrumentation for installations. Radiochemical laboratories produce radioactive isotopes for use in agriculture, medicine, geology, biology, and industry. A physical research facility comprising nuclear physics laboratory, solid state physics laboratory, neutron physics laboratory, material science and engineering laboratory, radiation biophysics laboratory, mass spectrometry laboratory, activation analysis laboratory, laboratories for physical research using the neutron generator and in fields having relevance to cover most nuclear technologies and science.
The main facility of the establishmet, is a 10 MW pool-type research reactor designed for isotope production and for fundamental and applied research in nuclear, physics, solid state physics, neutron physics, radiation chemistry, radiation biology, activation analysis, study of behaviour of structural materials under irradiation.The reactor uses ligh enriched uranium (80%) U235 as fuel, light water as coolant and moderator, and beryllium as a reflector.
The 10-megawatt nuclear research reactor supplied by the Soviet Union in 1979 was installed at the research center at Tajura near Tripoli, staffed by 750 Libyan specialists and technicians. Many students were sent abroad; a group of 200 was studying in the United States until early 1983 when the United States proscribed training Libyans in nuclear science.

Amphitheatre of Leptis Magna
Leptis Magna – a UNESCO World Heritage site it is one of the best preserved – having been covered for centuries in desert sand - and extensive examples of a great Roman city. Since the lifting of sanctions against Colonel Gaddafi’s Libya, Western tourists are starting to visit this largely empty site. Excavated mainly by Italian and British archaeologists, the site is neglected compared to European sites, with looting a problem to this day. The local population takes little interest in this history on their doorstep under the current regime. The site lies 78 miles east of the modern capital of Libya, Tripoli ( Roman Oea) on the old Roman coastal road of Decumanus running from Alexandria in Egypt to Carthage.

Danish reporters were sent to Libya to see the train made by AnsaldoBreda. The reporters found Danish signs on the train, not Libyan. Only change was the interiour.
Berlusconi wasn't popular for that and Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen criticized him for it.

Check it out in Google Earth and you can make out the missiles and a lot more detail.
There are two more of the sites protecting the air base to the east.
Also, each of the three sites has the same collection of buildings in close proximity.

Al-Saraya al-Hamra
Tripoli's castle is built into the southeast corner of the city wall, overlooking the harbor. The existing plan of the main complex is Ottoman, with a mosque, harem and many courtyards, but the castle is undoubtedly built on the foundations of earlier fortresses. The intricate network of paths within the castle reflects the style of winding arcaded streets seen in the old city. The fortress has been added to by each successive generation of Tripoli's rulers, and thus contains a mix of architecture and decoration. The main gateway dates from the 16th century, and shows the influence of the Spanish rulers at the time.
No longer used for defensive purposes, the castle was renovated and opened in 1988 as the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya Museum, housing cultural artifacts from all periods in Libya's history.

Tobruk airfield
bubaonline (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: bubaonline.
At the beginning of World War II, Libya was an Italian colony and Tobruk became the site of important battles between the Allies and Axis powers. Tobruk was strategically important to the conquest of Eastern Libya, then the province of Cyrenaica, for several reasons. ... Finally, fifteen miles south of the port was the largest airfield in eastern Libya. This was significant due to the importance of air power in desert warfare.

Tripoli Medina (Old City)
Tripoli Medina is an ancient walled city, dating from Roman times. Its high walls were originally built on the landward side to repel attacks from the interior, and these survived many invasions throughout the centuries.
The city's sea-facing wall is less ancient, however, as it was built in the 8th century by Tripoli's Muslim ruler.

Cyrene
DonMartini (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: DonMartini.
Cyrene, the ancient Greek city (in present-day Libya) was the oldest and most important of the five Greek cities in the region and gave eastern Libya the classical name 'Cyrenaica' that it has retained to modern times. It lies in a lush valley in the Jebel Akhdar uplands. It was named after a spring, Kyre, which the Greeks consecrated to Apollo.
Cyrene was founded as a colony of the Greeks of Thera, traditionally led by Aristotle (later called Battus) of Thera, about 630 BC, ten miles from its port, Apollonia (Marsa Sousa). Details concerning the founding of the city are contained in Book IV of the Histories of Herodotus. It promptly became the chief town of the ancient Libyan region between Egypt and Carthage (Cyrenaica), kept up commercial relations with all the Greek cities, and reached the height of its prosperity under its own kings in the 5th century BC. Soon after 460 BC it became a republic; after the death of Alexander the Great (323 BC) it passed to the Ptolemies and fell into decay.
Cyrene is now an archeological site near the village of Shahat. One of its more significant features is the Temple of Apollo which was originally constructed as early as 7th century BC. Other ancient structures include a Temple to Demeter and a partially unexcavated Temple to Zeus (the latter was intentionally damaged under orders of Moammar Al Qadhafi in the summer of 1978). There is a large necropolis approximately 10 km between Cyrene and its ancient port of Apollonia.

Al Khufrah Oasis
The Al Khufrah Oasis in southeastern Libya (near the Egyptian border) is one of Libya's largest agricultural projects. Because only about 2 percent of Libya's land receives enough rainfall to be cultivated, this project uses fossil water from the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System, a large underground aquifer.
The Green circles in the desert frequently indicate tracts of agriculture supported by center-pivot irrigation. The Al Khufrah Oasis in southeastern Libya (near the Egyptian border) is one of Libya’s largest agricultural projects, and is an easy-to-recognize landmark for orbiting astronauts aboard the International Space Station. The Libyan government also has a project called the Great Manmade River to pump and transport these groundwater reserves to the coast to support Libya’s growing population and industrial development.

Very similar to the other sites in the area along with the support buildings.
I only make out three launchers and it isn't clear that they have missiles mounted. There looks to be anothet three launchers clustered in the parking area of the buildings.
I assume this site is being set up or taken apart.
Perhaps there is some rotation of activation among the three sites with one or more taken out of service for rest / maintenance.

Oasis town Ghadames
DonMartini (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: DonMartini.
Ghadames is an oasis town in the west of Libya. It is located approximately 340 miles in the south west of Tripoli, near the borders to Algeria and Tunisia.
The oasis has a population of 7000 Tuareg Berbers. The old part of the town, which is surrounded by a wall, has been declared World Heritage of the UNESCO. Each of the seven clans that used to live in this part of the town had its own district, of which each had a public place where festivals could be held. In the 1970s, the government built new houses outside of the old part of the town. However, many inhabitants return to the old part of the town during the summer, as its architecture provides better protection against the heat.
The first records about Ghadames exist not before the Roman period, when there were troops in the town from time to time. The Roman name for the town was Cydamus. During the 6th century, a Bishop lived in the oasis, after the population have been converted to Christians by the people of the Byzantine Empire. During the 7th century, Ghadames was ruled by the Muslim Arabs. The population quickly converted to Islam. Ghadames played an important role as base for the Trans-Saharan trade until the 19th century.
