Sharjah Old Airport

Good one this
We used to take the Kuwait Airways Comets there, about once a week in the late 1960,s. there was no parking area, so you just back tracked and parked on the dumbell. Then there arose a cloud of dust as the transport streaked out to pick up the pax.
Mostly pick-up trucks but with the odd Roller or Cadillac racing for first place. The process was repeated for departure. Meanwhile the R.A.F. were amusing themselves by stopping fans with their heads or coming to the machine to gaze at our delicious ladies who were happy to serve them with soft drinks and promises of what might be.
Rgds. FPG.
