Thank you very much
Self loading bear for the info' on the fort and the castle. I would never have recognised them from looking on GE without knowing their names. Buraimi has become so built up since my visit in the 60's!!
Nice photo's
brakedwell. Is that you standing by the TwinPin door? I have just scanned another photo of one of your 152 Sqd. aircraft, taken at Dibba in April '66. Looking on GE I see there's still a landing strip to the west of the Al Hisn harbour area just below a marked "Industrial area" Could this be the same one?
As for Buraimi, I see on GE there's still a rough airstrip visible just to the east of the Al Khandaq Fort mentioned by SLB. Would that be the same strip as in the 60's?
I've added a photo' similar to yours taken from the tower at Fort Jahili. After 7 years, only a few more buildings have been added in the background.
In the photo of the front 'gate' the notice to the left reads "B Squadron Trucial Oman Scouts."
