Gulf Aviation in Bahrain before they became Gulf Air.

Any pictures around ??

Clint.
Since you ask, here's my only one from that time, around 1970 at Al Ayn, apologies for the quality and to those who have seen it before....you are looking at the apron, the terminal, the check-in desk, the security barrier and the baggage collection area. Out of sight is a Landrover which was the CFR service, met. station, emergency starting equipment, and Control Tower. One of the figures in the pic is the controller, CFR service, met observer, check-in agent, baggage loader/unloader, passenger boarding agent and ticket sales agent and pilot's engineering assistant if needed.

The crew are in the cockpit eating sandwiches, of course. The ambient temperature is about +45.
