My memories don't tie up with your recollections old,not bold. Can you imagine bringing a ceiling fan, or coffee table, down to the lobby for pick-up? As Rainboe says, nice story but.....
I can only remember staying with the cabin crew at the Gulf stations. In Bahrain we stayed at the old Imperial Airways rest house until we moved to the Gulf Hotel (with the cabin crew). In Dubai we all stayed at the Carlton, which was just about the only hotel available. The last time that I had the pleasure of flying with Rainboe was to Dubai in August 1974.
