Setting up on Day one at Medina Qaboos. We were taking over from Jim Sommerscales (sp?) who'd been flying and maintaining a 206 with Crescent Helicopters.
The lunchtime 'lumpy run'. It was one of these runs that I managed to fall out of whilst handing an Igloo of water to a worker at one of the pylon sites. Sometimes the ac was so full on departue I
had to stand on the skid until there was room to sit in the door.
Pouring concrete into the shuttering around the pylon base.
Hooking up a bunch of trestles. These were used to keep the conductor off the ground before tensioning.
The finished article. We assisted in the construction of 48 of these.
Packed up and ready to leave Medina Qaboos for Dubai. We operated from this pad from Feb to August 1980.
