Is the Yemen Hunt Oil company operation still going in Sanah? Just curious as I worked that jobs many moons ago. How tricky is it driving back and forth to the airport in these days?

Last I heard was Gulf Helicopters took the contract over from ADA. Yes it was a long drive to the airport even in the more peaceful times.

Hi All Yemen dwellers,

Never spent much time in Sana'a but mainly in the Hadramat, Seyun, Mukallah and all along the Indian ocean coast twixt Aden to Salalah.

Loved Sana'a could get a beer then in the Taj Sheba and the YH camp had reasonable food.

Thought that the whole job would have been for nothing without the help of Jebri, Bob H and Harvey M

Good times, difficult circumstances but good nevertheless.

K1W1phil (http://www.pprune.org/members/245234-k1w1phil), I have very fond memories of Sana'a when working for ADA. You mention Harvey M - sounds like he's the same Harvey Mollusc that I knew. Do you have contact details for him please?

Hi Chris,

Sadly no I dont know where Harvey is these days, maybe if you know any of the old engineers there Bill D or Bob L they might be able to put Harvey's address your way.

I'll have a dig around, maybe something will turn up

If the money was commensurate with the risk I would go back. Nice place.

Did Jehbri ever get his house completed? The last time I was there it was still pretty much a shell with (as I recall) a pretty blue gate.

Lets hope he survived all the troubles going on at present. He made mention of the house, but I never visited.
