Imperial Beach NOLF ?

NOLF = Naval Outlying Landing Field.

Had to look at a map of San Diego to find this.....thanks for that last hint, Thunder

Correct

Emperor = Imperial
Amongst the breakers = Beach
Past the base line = Outfield(Out-lying)

One more for fun !?

A rock formation I could of climbed backwards, 10 times! Just to get to this varied European base. It also sounds like you should take turns in making a list?
Any luck with the above?

Imperial Beach - should of got close with that . I gave up really when Clearwater st Petersburg was wrong!

Sorry too many letters

It will be easier for UK based people especially if they were in the scouts or Army cadets

Something to do with the DUP?
