I'm not sure that we had any Saudis on No 3 Sqn, 72-76. I do know that we had Kuwaitis, Jordanians, Iraqis, and Singaporeans. As Flt and Sqn Cdr, I made a point of flying with them all, regularly. One them was Lt Bahdr Al Gaith. A big chap, likeable, and very proficient. He had a bright pink, powerful, Ford Capri. I know, because when he left on graduation, he gave it to me! Needless to say that I told OC Admin, and left it in the OM car park. Last I saw of it.
There was one Iraqi, whose name I will not mention, that was not a likeable person, and a poor student. He was responsible for my Boss's death.
