laureibe,
My work in Saudi Arabia did not involve the Jaguar.
I was a BAe contract flying instructor at the King Faisal Air Academy. Strikemasters.
The Oman job would have been far more fun and a better lifestyle, but the salary was no contest.
I arrived at the end of 1985 and the BAe senior manager (a retired brigadier) said:
