the plaque is at the Christian cemetary in Muscat. 'Fraid I don't live/work in Oman, 'tis only a place I visit on holiday these days!

I enjoyed the links which led me to Sharjah - RAF Sharjah was my first ever RAF squadron posting in the (very) early 1970s ..... and I suppose that's where my love for that part of the world started... I hadn't seen Sharjah for probably 30-odd years - the Google Earth imagery was barely recognisable - I guess the creek was the only bit that hadn't changed!!

And one can hardly think of Saiq without thinking of the "twin town" of Firq ... but that's another thread I guess.

Enjoy your trip
