Absolutely loved the video - magic. It hadn't changed much in the 28 years, by 1965, when I was there. Suspect our Twin Pins and the occasional Bubbly were an improvement on the H.P.42, but not by much. Recognised the Fort and I am certain the same Char Wallah used to bring our tea. <grin> What a difference oil wealth has made.
:ok:

Ah yes the fort was still very much in existence when I used to fly on the GF 'Friendly Fokkers' back in the early 70s.
Thanks for posting the video.

Mods - a merge with the RAF Sharjah thread maybe?
