Apologies for the tardy reply re. aircraft type at Buraimi - it was the Valetta, I don't have my logbooks with me at the moment so can't give you the ident. I've just been browsing through your fascinating website - remarkable research effort!. Your Beverley memories rang a few bells as did the skippers names - although I was with the 'opposition' at 53. We did, however, amalgamate occasionally, on exercise.
The PAF museum has a slight connection, having been detached to Mauripur from Khormaksar in the mid '50s for three weeks to fly with the Air Attache on his Anson. A fascinating period although the 'Annie' was never serviceable to fly. Karachi was a mind-boggling mix of sights and sounds (and smells) with the bus journey from Mauripur to Karachi taking you past 'Fish Corner' - a truly horrific result of the Partition.
