Hi Hh, our fathers knew each other well in Oman, your Dad stayed with us on a number of occasions going to/coming back from Home. He made quite an impression on me, and I enjoyed being in his company. I remember going to the range at Thumrait and watching your Dad and his 6 squadron mates bombing and rocketing targets followed by the almost obligatory low passes. Dropped off at the accom afterwards, I would sneak into the mess later and sit listening to the stories of daring doos, Cold War aviating, close calls and all the other talk that was exciting for a young aviation mad kid.
