EP-HAK came to me on the Sofiran contract on Lavan Island. We ended up with a great mix of aircraft. WS 55, Alouette 111 and Jetranger.
We used to fly the Al 111 to Dubai each week for a crew change.
Dave Smith also came to Lavan for a while and he and I were on Rashk 1 and watched as the Wadeco 111 had a blowout. That's a longish story!
