In my time there, there were several aircraft losses that I remember.
A Strikemaster that got in a flat spin during a test flight. Pilot ejected safely.
A Hunter T bird that went off the end at Thumrait. Pilot and engineer killed.
A Jaguar that blew up on the ranges. Pilot ejected with minor injuries.
A Huey that tipped over on take off near a village in the jebels. One child pax killed.
This was 1976 to 79.
I guess this may be the Strikie or Jag pilot.
